Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar
The Election Commission has dismissed the Congress’ allegations of any irregularities in the Haryana elections as baseless, false and untrue. The Electoral Commission also issued a 1,642-page response to the allegations. The committee has also written to the Congress party asking it to stop raising baseless allegations in election after election. The election commission also urged Congress to take concrete steps to curb the trend.
The Electoral Commission urged Congress that making irresponsible accusations at sensitive times such as polling and counting days could lead to public unrest, riots and anarchy. Citing five specific cases from the past year, the party was asked to conduct due diligence and avoid the usual attacks on electoral functions without any evidence.
Returning officers thoroughly investigated the allegations.
The Election Commission said that in response to the issues raised by political parties, election officials in the 26 assembly constituencies had been thoroughly investigated and verified. No errors were discovered during the election. Any steps taken in these areas are done under the supervision of congressional candidates or agents.
The ECI’s reply to the Congress party also included 1,642 pages of evidence showing that the Congress candidate’s authorized representative was present at every step from the insertion of the battery into the EVM to the end of the count. Vote within 7-8 days. Accordingly, the Chief Electoral Officer also dismissed all complaints from the Congress party regarding irregularities in the Haryana Assembly elections.
Answers about EVM batteries are also given
To refute the completely ridiculous claims about the status of the battery display in the EVM and to clarify that battery voltage and capacity have no bearing on the counting, operation or safety of the EVM. Displaying information about battery status on the EVM is a tool to assist the technical team. It’s completely ridiculous to suggest that battery power affects voting results.
The Election Commission also issued a warning against EVM
The Election Commission also strongly warned against creating misunderstandings and making irresponsible accusations about EVM. Apart from this, the Election Commission also revealed the court judgment regarding EVM, in which EVM was given credit after various investigations.
