Allegations of Corruption in Haryana Congress Ticket Distribution
Serious Allegations Surface in Haryana Congress
New Delhi. The controversy surrounding the Haryana Congress regarding alleged payments of crores for election tickets is escalating. Gaurav Kumar, husband of Congress leader Suchitra Devi, has made serious allegations after not receiving a ticket for the reserved assembly seat in Rewari district. He claims that approximately seven crore rupees were taken in exchange for securing a ticket, yet he did not receive one.
Gaurav Kumar, a businessman from Sonipat, has filed a complaint at the North Avenue police station. His wife, Suchitra Devi, previously served as the state general secretary of the Haryana Women's Congress. Allegedly, when they demanded a refund after not receiving the ticket, the party expelled Suchitra Devi. Following this, Gaurav Kumar wrote to the Delhi Police Commissioner requesting action, which led to the police registering a case after their investigation.
In his complaint, Gaurav detailed that between 2022 and 2024, a total of seven crore rupees were paid through various means. This amount was transferred both via bank transactions and in cash. He alleges that this money was handed over to different individuals to secure the ticket.
Gaurav Kumar elaborated that some funds were reportedly transferred to the bank accounts of KC Venugopal and his aide Anas Ali, while 75 lakh rupees were given in cash at KC Venugopal's residence. Additionally, 90 lakh rupees were handed over to K. Sukesh in cash. Gaurav has also accused Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, stating that her aide Sahab Khan received 25 lakh rupees at 10 Janpath and another 10 lakh at her residence. When he requested the return of the funds, he was told that Priyanka Gandhi does not return large sums from South Indian contractors, implying that his amount was insignificant.
The Delhi Police have confirmed that a case has been registered based on the complaint, and they are investigating all aspects of the allegations. The truth of the matter will be revealed after examining documents, bank transactions, and other evidence.
