A Brazilian model named Larissa has reacted after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said that her picture was used many times in the Haryana voter list. Rahul Gandhi made this statement during a press meeting, saying that fake voter IDs were being created and that it was a “planned attack on democracy.”
Rahul Gandhi’s Claim
Rahul Gandhi said that the same photo of a woman, a Brazilian model was found on voter lists under different Indian names like Seema, Sweety, and Saraswati. He said this shows that fake names and photos are being added to the voter list on purpose. Gandhi asked the Election Commission to look into the matter and take strict action.
What the Model Said
Larissa, the Brazilian model, said she was shocked to see her picture being used in India’s elections. She said, “I have never been to India and never voted there. My picture is being used without my permission.” She also said that the photo was likely taken from her social media account.
Political Reactions
After Rahul Gandhi’s statement, the issue quickly spread on social media. Many people supported his claim and demanded an investigation. Congress members said it proves there are fake entries in voter lists. However, BJP leaders rejected the claim, saying it was just a political stunt and that voter data is carefully checked by the Election Commission.
Election Commission’s Action
So far, the Election Commission has not given an official statement. But sources say it may start an investigation soon. Experts said that such mistakes can happen when local officials upload voter photos manually without proper checks. They suggested using better technology to prevent this.
The Bigger Issue
This case has started a big discussion about how safe and accurate India’s voter lists are. It also shows how easily people’s photos can be copied from social media and used without permission. Many people now want stronger digital systems to keep elections fair and secure.
Rahul Gandhi’s claim and Larissa’s response have raised questions about privacy, data misuse, and the need for more reliable election records in India.
