Election Commission dismisses Congress’ allegations of irregularities in Haryana elections

The Election Commission on Tuesday dismissed the Congress’ allegations of irregularities in the recently concluded Haryana Assembly elections and accused the party of “raising the smoke of a generic doubt” on the electoral outcome, reported The Indian Express.

In a letter to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, the poll panel said that such behaviour is “least expected” from a national party.

Voting for the Haryana Assembly elections was held on October 5 and the results were declared on October 8.
