The Congress’ lies have been exposed and its attempts to undermine the election process thwarted, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said here on Wednesday, a day after the Election Commission(EC)rejected allegations of rigging in the Haryana Assembly polls.
The EC on Tuesday rejected Congress’ allegations of irregularities in the conduct of the polls, saying the party was raising “the smoke of a generic doubt” like it did in the past.
“...The Hon’ble Election Commission has exposed that lie of Congress,” Saini told reporters on the sidelines of the ‘Rashtriya Ekta Diwas’ oath-taking ceremony at the Haryana Civil Secretariat.
Saini said in the run-up to the polls he maintained that the Congress was not visible anywhere on the ground, even though its leaders claimed there was a “Congress wave”.
“They looted the country, indulged in corruption, and scams in the country, they made people stand in queues for days just to get a gas cylinder,” he said.
On Tuesday, in a strongly-worded letter to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, the poll panel said such “frivolous and unfounded” doubts have the potential of creating “turbulence” when crucial steps like polling and counting are in live play and political parties’ anxiousness is peaking.
