Haryana: BJP takes lead, Congress starts complaining

The Congress complained about counting data being uploaded on the Election Commission's website after the BJP dramatically surged past the party's tally in the early trends for Haryana Assembly election result on Tuesday.

Congress General Secretary and communications in-charge Jairam 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 Is the BJP trying to build pressure on the administration by sharing outdated and misleading trends?"

The ruling BJP has crossed the halfway mark of 45 in the Haryana assembly polls and is leading on 48 seats now, while the Congress was ahead on 36, according to the latest trends on the Election Commission website.

Congress leader Pawan Khera also alleged that there was a mismatch in the number of rounds counted and the number of rounds being shown on television through the Election Commission data.

"The Election Commission data is lagging behind, they are still showing fourth or the fifth found data while 11 rounds have been counted. Our General Secretary Communications has tweeted to the Election Commission asking - they are trying to put pressure on the local administration by delaying the display and uploading of data. In J&K you are getting live data with every round counted but in Haryana, it is not so," Khera said.
