Congress lead Rahul Gandhi held a press conference on Wednesday in which he accused BJP of stealing votes in Haryana elections. Rahul Gandhi has told in his press conference that the photo of a Brazilian model has been used after 22 years. As the claim gained national attention, many confused social media users mistook the unknown woman for Brazilian model Larissa Bonesi. According to reports, Larissa is dating Aryan Khan.

Why did Larissa trend?

People considered Larissa to be the same model whose photo was shown by Rahul Gandhi. Now Larissa is trending on social media and people are commenting a lot on her posts. Some people are even posting photos and gifs of Rahul Gandhi. One wrote- You have become famous in India. While another wrote – Congratulations on getting Indian citizenship.

This confusion increased because there is another Brazilian model named Larissa. Who has claimed that she is the same woman whose photo was shown by Rahul Gandhi in his press conference. Larissa Neri has reposted a screenshot showing her photo on Rahul Gandhi’s Instagram. He has also shared a video in which he talked about this scandal. Due to the first name being the same, there was confusion among the people.

Who is Larissa Bonesi?

Larissa is a Brazilian model and actress. She has appeared in many films in Bollywood. He has worked in many films like Saif Ali Khan’s Go Goa Gone, Akshay Kumar’s Desi Boys. Larissa has also worked in Telugu films. Not only this, she has also been seen in many events of Aryan Khan.

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has once again made serious allegations of alleged irregularities in the voting process and voting list regarding the Haryana Assembly elections. He claimed in the press conference on Wednesday (5 November) that there are more than 25 lakh fake voters included in the voting list of Haryana, which directly raises questions on the fairness of the elections.

Rahul Gandhi said that an example of this irregularity is a Brazilian model, who allegedly voted 22 different times in Haryana. He raised questions as to how the name of this model came in the voter list and why the name of the same woman was registered at many different booths and places. The picture of this Brazilian model was shared by Mathews Ferraro on social media, which makes the seriousness of this matter more clear.

Matheus Ferroro had clicked the photo of the model

The name of this woman as mentioned by Rahul Gandhi is not Matheus Ferroro. Matheus Ferroro is the name of the photographer who clicked this photo. This photo is available in the photographer’s profile on websites like Unsplash and Pexels.

Rahul Gandhi made these serious allegations

Rahul Gandhi said that there are a total of 2 crore voters in Haryana and out of these, about 12.5 percent were found to be fake voters. He said that the voting process was tampered by using fake photos and names, and that is why a conspiracy was hatched to convert the possible huge victory of Congress into defeat.

Apart from this, Rahul Gandhi alleged that many BJP leaders are voting in Haryana after voting in Uttar Pradesh. Giving specific examples, he said that Dalchand sits with the UP minister, is a sarpanch and his son Yashveer is also voting in Haryana. Along with this, he told that the names of the fathers of some fake voters were changed. Rahul said that he has solid evidence of this entire matter.

What did the Election Commission say?

However, Election Commission sources have responded to this allegation and said that Rahul Gandhi had earlier not raised any objection to the voter list of Haryana and till now no official complaint has been received against this list.

In the press conference, Rahul Gandhi especially appealed to the youth of the country and Gen Z voters to pay attention to this issue, as it is directly related to their future and democratic rights. He warned that it is necessary to question the democratic process and the transparency of the Election Commission and this allegation has been presented with complete evidence.
