The commission said, ‘Making irresponsible allegations during sensitive times like voting and counting can lead to unrest and anarchy. Citing 5 cases in the last one year, the Commission advised the Congress party to be careful in making allegations and avoid habitually attacking the electoral operation without any evidence.
Voting was held in one phase in the state i.e. on 5th October and the results came on 8th October. During the counting of votes, Congress had complained to the Election Commission that some EVMs were working at 99 per cent battery capacity, while some were working at 60-70 and less than 80 per cent battery capacity.
Congress had complained on October 13, alleging rigging.

Congress had complained to the Election Commission on October 13 claiming EVM malfunction in Haryana elections. Congress leader Pawan Kheda had said that during the counting of votes on 20 seats, irregularities were found in EVMs. Candidates for these seats had filed written and oral complaints. Congress has sent their list to the Election Commission. Khera had said that it is strange that Congress candidates have lost on the same seats where the machines had 99% battery charge. At the same time, the machines with 60-70% battery charge are the ones on which Congress candidates have won. On the day of counting, some machines were 99% charged and the rest of the normal machines were 60-70% charged. Our demand is that those machines should be kept sealed and safe until the investigation is completed. Read full news
