New Delhi, October 9: A delegation of senior Congress leaders today met the Election Commission of India and submitted various complaints about anomalies in the counting of votes in Haryana.

The delegation comprised party general secretary organisation KC Venugopal, Ajay Maken, Jairam Ramesh, Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Ashok Gehlot, Partap Bajwa, Udai Bhan, Pawan Khera and others. Dr Abhishek Manu Singhvi joined the meeting through video conference.

Briefing the reporters, Khera said the Election Commission was told about the complaints from twenty constituencies. The Election Commission was handed over written complaints from seven constituencies while the remaining complaints will be submitted in another two days.

Khera said, the party delegation strongly asserted that all these machines which are under question, must be sealed properly till the completion of the inquiry.

Speaking on the occasion, Bhupinder Singh Hooda maintained that the election results in Haryana were totally unexpected and surprising. He said the Election Commission had assured the delegation to look into the complaints.

Haryana Congress president Udai Bhan referred to many Electronic Voting Machines which were found to be charged up to 90-99 percent even after hours of use. He said, all such EVMs showed the BJP winning while those machines with less battery charge after hours of use showed the BJP losing.

The Congress leaders said that they have been assured by the Election Commission that it will look into the matter and reply to the party on all the issues after taking the feedback from the concerned Returning Officers.
