New Delhi: The Congress on Tuesday afternoon filed a formal complaint with the Election Commission regarding a delay in publishing the leads and results of the Haryana poll. In a brief letter the opposition party said that between 9 and 11 am there was \u201can unexplained slowdown in updating of results\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs you can imagine this allows bad faith actors to spin out narratives that undermine the process. You can see examples of it already playing out on social media. Our fear is also that such narratives can then be used by these mala fide actors to influence processes where counting is still underway, i.e., in most of the counting centres,\u201d the Congress told the Election Commission.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe request you to issue immediate directions to your officials to update the website with true and accurate figures, so that false news and malicious narratives can be countered immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n
Minutes earlier the Congress\u2019 Jairam Ramesh said, \u201c\u2026 we hope the Election Commission will answer our questions. The results of 10-11 rounds are out\u2026 but only four to five rounds are updated on the site.\u201d He also flagged those \u201ctrying to build pressure by sharing outdated and misleading trends\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
The Congress had raced into an early lead in Haryana as postal votes were counted, only for the BJP to stage a thrilling comeback late morning as ballots were opened. The ruling party then raced into a lead of its own, which it has held since; at noon the BJP held 48 seats \u2013 two over the majority mark.<\/p>\n
Early celebrations at the Congress\u2019 Delhi HQ ground to a halt as the party \u2013 which is set to win the first Jammu and Kashmir election in a decade \u2013 contemplated a third straight defeat in Haryana.<\/p>\n
