As a part of his “H-Files”, Leader of the Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday showed a picture of a woman who he claimed appeared on the voter list 22 times in 10 booths in the Rai Assembly constituency, to claim that “voter theft” was a “centralised operation”. He also alleged discrepancies in the Hodal, Mulana and Tigaon Assembly seats.
Here is how the seats have voted in the past three Assembly elections.
Rai
The BJP won the seat in the 2019 and 2024 polls with current state president Mohan Lal Badoli and Krishna Gahlawat respectively. While the margin of victory in 2019 was just over 2,600 votes, it was over 4,600 last year
Hodal
Udai Bhan, the Haryana PCC chief and a close aide of Congress frontrunner CM face Bhupinder Singh Hooda, was the Congress candidate from here. In a result that was of particular embarrassment for Hooda, Bhan lost to the BJP’s Harinder Singh by 2,595 votes.
While Udai Bhan won from this seat in 2014 against the INLD’s Jagdish Nayar by 11,680 votes, he lost to Nayar in 2019 by 3,387 votes. In 2019, Nayar was a BJP candidate.
Tigaon
The BJP’s Rajesh Nagar has been winning the seat in the past two elections. Last year, he won the seat by a margin of over 37,000 votes as against the 33,000 in 2019.
In 2014, the seat was won by the Congress’s Lalit Nagar by just over 2,900 votes.
Badshahpur
The seat, in Gurgaon district of Haryana is currently represented by former Haryana minister Rao Narbir Singh, who won the last year’s Assembly polls by a margin of over 60,000 votes.
In 2019, Rakesh Daultabad, an Independent candidate and founder of Parivartan Sangh, an organisation that promotes healthcare, won the polls. He defeated the BJP’s Manish Yadav by over 10,000 votes.
In 2014, the BJP’s Singh had won the polls, defeating Daultabad – then with the INLD – by over 10,000 votes.
Mulana
This is the only seat which Gandhi mentioned that the Congress has won in the past two elections. While the Congress’s Varun Chaudhary won it in 2019 by a margin of just over 1,600 votes, Pooja Chaudhary won it last year by a margin of over 12,000 votes.
In 2014, the BJP’s Santosh Chouhan Sarwan had won the seat by a margin of over 5,600 votes.
