Previously, Jairam Ramesh, Congress General Secretary in-charge Communications, has alleged that there is a slowing down in uploading up-to-date trends in the Haryana Assembly election's vote counting on the Election Commission website.
The Congress had raised with the Election Commission the issue of an «unexplained slowdown» in updating of results of Haryana elections on the poll watchdog's website and urged it to direct officials to update accurate figures so that «false news and malicious narratives» can be countered immediately.
In a letter to the Chief Election Commissioner and Election Commissioners, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Ramesh said that over the last two hours between 9 and 11 am there has been an «unexplained slowdown» in updating of results on the ECI's website.
In its response, the poll authority said counting of votes is being carried out as per Rule 60 of Conduct of Election Rules at the designated counting centres and by the designated authorities following statutory and regulatory regime.
