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.
