A surprising twist has emerged in the Indian electoral landscape as Brazilian model Larissa Nery reacted to her photo being mistakenly linked to alleged voter fraud. Rahul Gandhi had pointed to her image as evidence of fraudulent voting in Haryana, stating it was listed 22 times with different identities. Nery, in a lighthearted Instagram video, shared her bewilderment at her old photo being thrust into an Indian election dispute. She described the image as one where she appears very young, around 18 to 20 years old. The model found it amusing that her likeness was being used to potentially mislead voters. She recounted how journalists contacted her after finding her social media profile, alerted by the widespread news. The narrative took another turn when a voter named Poonam, whose voter ID featured Larissa’s photo, was identified by the media. Poonam affirmed her identity and confirmed her participation in the Haryana elections. Following these developments, political rivals have accused Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party of fabricating a voter list to tarnish the reputation of the Election Commission of India.
