Congress complains about 'surprising' Haryana election results
The Straits Times|October 11, 2024
NEW DELHI - India's main opposition Congress party has complained to the election panel about concerns regarding the counting of votes in state elections in Haryana won by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), it said.

The partial rejection of the outcome, which gave the BJP 48 state constituencies against 37 for the Congress, was unusual in the world's most populous democracy, where the credibility of elections has rarely been questioned in recent decades.

The Congress, projected by exit polls to win the election in the northern breadbasket state, had said earlier it would not accept the "totally unexpected, completely surprising and counter-intuitive" result.

Senior Congress leaders who met the Election Commission of India (ECI) said they told the panel about complaints from 20 of the state's 90 constituencies and had been assured their concerns would be looked into.
