Mismatch’: Pawan Khera Raises Doubt Over ‘Slow’ Data Updation on EC Website

NEW DELHI:
As soon as the Congress trailed in Haryana, according to early trends, Congress national spokesperson Pawan Khera on Tuesday expressed concern over the “slow updation” of voting data on the Election Commission (EC) website.

Khera claimed that even after 11-12 rounds of counting, the EC’s website still shows figures from the 5-6th round.

“Why this mismatch? Why aren’t channels, journalists, and reporters showing the counting from their centres as usual,” Khera questioned.

Similar concerns were echoed by Congress Rajya Sabha MP Jairam Ramesh, who alleged potential administrative pressure.

The Congress leader took to his social media platform X, stating: “Like the Lok Sabha results, the election trends in Haryana are also being deliberately shared slowly on the Election Commission’s website. Is the BJP trying to put pressure on the administration @ECISVEEP?”

The Congress leaders claimed that the EC’s website was showing slower updates than the actual vote counting, raising doubts about the “transparency” of the process in Haryana.
