During the visit, villagers extended full support to the campaign and signed a large number of forms in solidarity with the movement against vote theft.

Speaking on the occasion, Congress president Raja Warring said, “This campaign being run by the Congress across the state is aimed at protecting democracy. We will collect five crore signatures and convey this collective voice to the Election Commission of India.”

He further said, “The BJP also formed its government in Haryana through vote theft, which is a betrayal of democracy. In the 2024 Haryana Assembly elections, we lost only eight seats, and in these constituencies, the total difference between the BJP and Congress votes was merely 22,779.”

Raja Warring added, “Vote theft undermines democracy, and it is our duty to stop it. The Election Commission of India must take strict action to eliminate such malpractice from its roots. If parties like the BJP continue to enjoy this kind of dictatorship, the very foundation of our democracy will be in danger.”
