As part of his ‘H-Files’, Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday showed a photo of a woman who he claimed appeared in the voters’ list 22 times at 10 booths in Rai Assembly constituency, to claim that “voter theft” was a “centralised operation”. He also alleged discrepancies in the Hodal, Maulana and Tejaon assembly seats.
Here’s how the seats voted in the last three Assembly elections.

The BJP won the seat in the 2019 and 2024 elections with incumbent state president Mohan Lal Badoli and Krishna Gehlawat respectively. While the margin of victory in 2019 was just over 2,600 votes, it was more than 4,600 votes last year.
Hodal
Udai Bhan, Haryana PCC president and close aide of Congress front-runner CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda, was the Congress candidate from here. In a result that particularly embarrassed Hooda, Bhan lost to the BJP’s Harinder Singh by 2,595 votes.
While Uday Bhan won from this seat in 2014 against INLD’s Jagdish Nayar by 11,680 votes, he lost to Nayar in 2019 by 3,387 votes. In 2019, Nayar was a BJP candidate.
Tejaon
BJP’s Rajesh Nagar has won the seat in the last two elections. Last year, he won the seat by a margin of more than 37,000 votes compared to 33,000 votes in 2019.
In 2014, Congress MP Lalit Nagar won the seat by a majority of just over 2,900 votes.
Badshahpur
The seat in Haryana’s Gurgaon district is currently represented by former Haryana Minister Rao Narbir Singh, who won the Assembly elections last year by a margin of over 60,000 votes.
In 2019, the polls were won by Rakesh Daulatabad, an independent candidate and founder of the Parivartan Sangh, an organization that promotes healthcare. He defeated Manish Yadav of the BJP by more than 10,000 votes.
In 2014, the BJP’s Singh won the polls, defeating Daulatabad – then with the INLD – by more than 10,000 votes.
Plantina
This is the only seat that Gandhi said the Congress party had won in the last two elections. While Congressman Varun Chaudhary won it in 2019 by a margin of just over 1,600 votes, Pooja Chaudhary won it last year by a margin of over 12,000 votes.
In 2014, BJP’s Santosh Chauhan Sarwan won the seat by a margin of over 5,600 votes.
