While speaking to ANI, the Congress leader said that they will file a complaint and a memorandum. “We hope that the EC will answer our questions. The results of 10-11 rounds are already out but only 4-5 rounds have been updated on EC website. This is a tactic to pressure the Administration..” he said.
Pawan Khera also echoed these concerns while speaking to ANI. He pointed out the discrepancies between the actual number of rounds counted and the date being displayed on television. “The EC data is lagging behind, they are still showing 4th or the 5th found data while 11 rounds have been counted,” he said. He further alleged that while Jammu and Kashmir is getting live data Haryana is lagging behind with actual data.
