Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday alleged that there was large-scale voter fraud in Haryana and highlighted that a 'Brazilian model' voted 22 times across 10 booths under different names.

Giving an example of alleged voter manipulation, Gandhi presented the picture of a model, saying, “Who is this lady who voted 22 times in Haryana, in 10 different booths, under multiple names? It’s a stock photo of a Brazilian model, and she’s one of 2.5 million such fake records in the Haryana voter list.”

Gandhi said, “We have crystal clear proof that 2.5 million voters in Haryana are fake; they either don’t exist, are duplicates, or are designed in such a way that anybody can vote. One in eight voters in Haryana are fake, that’s 12.5 per cent.”

He questioned whether the required ground verification was done, saying, “There is a rule that if more than 10 people live in one house, verification has to be conducted. Was that done?”

Gandhi said, “What do you do when the democratic structure itself is not proper? We are informing the people that the Prime Minister and the Haryana Chief Minister are not legitimately in power.” He further urged India’s Gen Z to come forward and set things right through the path of satya (truth) and ahimsa (non-violence).
