Present during that press conference with Gyanesh Kumar were election commissioners Vivek Joshi and Sukhbir Singh Sandhu, whose face Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday claimed to hint that the CEC was lying.

Rahul Gandhi started his press conference on Wednesday claiming how "Congress would have swept Haryana, alleging that ‘Operation Sarkar Chori’ - a plan to convert Congress's landslide victory into a loss - changed the outcome.
Among the many allegations, Rahul Gandhi claimed fake entries with a Brazilian model's photo appeared 22 times in Haryana voter list, across 10 different booths in the state, using multiple names: Seema, Sweety, Rashmi, etc.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won the 2024 Haryana assembly election by winning a comfortable majority securing 48 out of the 90 seats in which the poll was held.
