Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on Wednesday dismissed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s allegations of large-scale electoral fraud in Haryana as a “diversionary tactic” ahead of the Bihar elections.
“They are doing all this to hide their failure,” Rijiju said at a press conference, asserting that the Congress was “looking for excuses for its impending defeat” with Bihar polling just two days away.
“We never questioned exit polls, but they can’t accept the people’s mandate,” he added.
“Rahul Gandhi addressed the press to hide his failures. There will be polling in Bihar (tomorrow), however, he was sharing stories about Haryana. This shows that the Congress has nothing left in Bihar and this is why to deviate attention he is raking up Haryana issue,” Kiren Rijiu said.
“I would advise him that being Leader of Opposition, he should talk on serious issues and not waste time over irrelevant issues,” he added.
DHARMENDRA PRADHAN SLAMS RAHUL GANDHI
Following Rahul Gandhi’s press conference, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan termed it a “ploy to save his head from the impending crushing defeat in Bihar”.
“Rahul Gandhi’s press conference today is merely a ploy to save his head from the impending crushing defeat in Bihar,” he wrote in an X post.
“Everyone knows that Rahul Gandhi does not believe in the country’s constitution, democracy, democratic system, parliamentary system, and the people’s right to vote. He is lost in an ideal world where he thinks ‘no accounts, no ledgers, whatever Rahul Gandhi says is right.'”
“But the truth is that through all these baseless ploys, he wants to distance himself from the defeat that is going to happen in the Bihar elections. He also knows that the Congress, along with RJD, the entire Mahagathbandhan’s position in Bihar is in tatters and the public is continuously rejecting these people,” Pradhan wrote.
“They come with one lie every time, then that lie bomb fizzles out. After that, they come up with a new lie. Rahul Gandhi has become a research centre for lies and false narratives. No one takes him seriously anymore,” his X post read.
“Even after all these ploys, Rahul Gandhi cannot escape responsibility for yet another failure,” he mentioned.
Today’s press conference of Rahul Gandhi is just a ploy to save his head from the crushing defeat in Bihar. It is known to everyone that Rahul Gandhi does not believe in the country’s constitution, democracy, democratic system, parliamentary system and people’s voting rights.

Earlier today, Rahul Gandhi alleged that 25 lakh fake voter entries were used to “steal” the Haryana Assembly elections, accusing the Election Commission of colluding with the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Gandhi said the “vote chori” operation was a “centralised plan” to convert a Congress landslide into a BJP win.
The BJP won 48 seats in the 2024 Haryana Assembly polls, while the Congress secured 37.
