Congress MP Rahul Gandhi sparked controversy by displaying a Brazilian model's stock photo at Wednesday's press conference, claiming it appeared 22 times on Haryana electoral rolls as evidence of vote theft. The woman, identified as Larissa, clarified she's never visited India and her old modeling photo was purchased from a stock platform without her involvement. The Brazilian digital influencer and hairdresser expressed surprise as her Instagram flooded with Indian followers after the image went viral. She thanked Indian followers for their kindness while clarifying she had no political involvement. Gandhi made these allegations on the eve of Bihar Assembly polls, claiming 2024 Haryana elections were rigged favoring BJP.
