Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday claimed that all six BJP MPs got his electoral victory by stealing votes and claimed that the entire Haryana government is a “sneakers”.
Gandhi also claimed that if fair elections were held, the BJP would not be able to win more than 140 seats.
“Sometimes seats are stolen by stealing votes, sometimes by entire governments. Of the 240 BJP MPs in the Lok Sabha, nearly every six won through stealing votes. It is not difficult to identify them – should we call them ‘infiltrators’ in BJP parlance?” The Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Saha posted on his official X account in Hindi on Wednesday.
“And Haryana? There, the entire government is ‘infiltrated’. The institutions they keep in their pockets, the ones that manipulate the voter lists and the electoral process, are themselves ‘subject to remote control’.”
Their real fear is the truth. Because if fair elections were held, they would not be able to win 140 seats even today.”

“Assam and Bengal are clear cases of election theft by the BJP with the support of the EC,” Gandhi claimed on Tuesday.
He also supported Banerjee’s claims that over 100 seats were “stolen” from the TMC in Bengal.
“We agree with Mamata ji. Over 100 seats were stolen in Bengal. We have seen this playbook before: Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Maharashtra, Lok Sabha 2024 etc,” he posted on his official X account on Monday.
Reacting to the allegations, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju asked Rahul Gandhi to respect the people’s mandate.
“Please learn to respect the mandate of the people. The more you attack constitutional powers, the more you will lose your remaining credibility as a leader. Criticize government policies, attack us but please respect the Constitution of India,” Rijiju wrote on his official X account on Tuesday.
Rijiju also alleged that Congress is treating Muslims as vote banks. “Rahul Gandhi ji, this is the reason, why do we blame others!! It is a failure of your leadership. Respect Muslims and do not treat Muslims as a mere vote bank.”
