Congress alleges delay in vote count updates as BJP surges in Haryana polls

Haryana Assembly election results 2024: The Congress has raised concerns about delays in the Election Commission’s website displaying real-time counting data after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) took a surprising lead over the party in the early trends of the Haryana Assembly election results.

Congress General Secretary and communications head Jairam Ramesh voiced his dismay over the sluggish update of trends, drawing parallels with the Lok Sabha elections. Ramesh tweeted, “Like the Lok Sabha elections, in Haryana we are again witnessing slowing down of uploading up-to-date trends on the ECI website. Is the BJP trying to build pressure on the administration by sharing outdated and misleading trends?”

Ramesh also wrote to the Election Commission, alleging "inordinate and unacceptable delay in updating trends" in the Haryana Assembly election results.
