A video of Bakhshish Singh Virk, BJP candidate from Haryana’s Assandh constituency, was shared on social media where Singh can be heard making comments about voting machines – “Whichever button you press, the votes will automatically go to flower (BJP’s election symbol)”<\/em>. He further suggested that BJP leaders Narendra Modi and Manohar Lal Khattar can sense which voter voted for whom and from which constituency. Congress MP Rahul Gandhi tweeted the viral video and wrote, “The most honest man in the BJP”<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Several media organisations like Punjab Kesari<\/em><\/a> and The Tribune<\/em><\/a> also reported on the video, however, without verifying the speech. In an interview with BBC Punjabi<\/em><\/a>, Singh claimed that his speech was doctored by the opposition for political gains.<\/p>\n
