May 6, 2026 - In a fresh round of attacks on the BJP, Rahul Gandhi has accused the Haryana government of being a “regime of infiltrators,” continuing his campaign against the ruling party. The Congress leader took to social media, alleging that the BJP’s hold on the state government is based on manipulation and “vote theft,” a charge that has been central to his criticisms of the party’s tactics. Gandhi’s remarks are the latest salvo in his ongoing battle with the BJP as the 2026 elections draw nearer. He reiterated his stance that the BJP has resorted to unethical practices to win elections, accusing the party of allowing external elements to infiltrate the political system in Haryana. The Congress leader’s accusations aim to undermine the credibility of the BJP-led government and rally opposition supporters ahead of the upcoming polls. This accusation comes at a time when political tension is at a high in Haryana, as both major parties, BJP and Congress, intensify their campaigning and seek to consolidate their power. Rahul Gandhi’s statement is likely to further fuel the ongoing political rivalry, as both sides continue to jockey for political dominance in the state.
