The Election Commission of India has accepted the Congress party's request for a meeting to discuss alleged irregularities in the October 5 Haryana assembly election results. Congress, which was expected to win, has contested its defeat, claiming the results are "unacceptable." The meeting is set for 6 PM today, with Congress leaders Mallikarjun Kharge and others expressing their concerns over the commission's handling of the election. In the election, the BJP secured 48 seats, while Congress managed only 37 in the 90-member assembly, despite predictions of a Congress victory.
