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 referred to the 99 per cent battery charge of the Electronic Voting Machines even after hours of use. He said, counting in all these EVMs showed the BJP winning while those machines with less battery charge after hours of use showed the BJP winning.
