Haryana Congress to take ‘Vote Chori’ campaign to villages from 12 November
Haryana Congress to take ‘Vote Chori’ campaign to villages from 12 November
The Story in Brief
The Haryana Congress will launch a 13-day ‘Vote Bachao, Desh Bachao’ chaupal campaign from 12 to 24 November, accusing the BJP of subverting the 2024 assembly election mandate through organised ‘vote chori’. AICC in-charge Sanjay Dutt and state party chief Rao Narender Singh will lead the tour across villages and towns.
The party alleges systematic electoral manipulation including suspicious voter entries, duplicate voters and irregularities in electoral rolls. It demands the resignation and criminal investigation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, and an independent probe into the alleged vote theft. The campaign will also oppose the ongoing Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.
All senior Congress leaders including Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Kumari Selja and Randeep Singh Surjewala are expected to participate. The party aims to turn electoral integrity into a statewide political issue.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both sources report the same Congress campaign identically: a 13-day chaupal tour starting 12 November to protest alleged electoral manipulation in the 2024 Haryana assembly elections. The Times of India leads with the political attack frame (‘Vote Chori’ charge against BJP) and names the full leadership lineup, while The Hindu leads with Sanjay Dutt’s statement on defending democracy and voting rights. Neither outlet provides any BJP or Election Commission response. The coverage is uniform straight reporting of the Congress’s planned campaign, with no independent verification of its claims. The key open point is whether the campaign will draw a response from the Election Commission before the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls ends.
