Maharashtra polls: MVA seeks EVM data; in self-introspection mode
MUMBAI: A day after its drubbing in the Maharashtra assembly elections, party leaders in the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi, which included NCP chief Sharad Pawar and Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole, said while they accept the results, they will seek more information and analyse the data of Electronic Voting Machines, before commenting on any possible malpractice. People are the most important factor in a democracy and when they are saying this government is not of their choice then it seems like daal mein kuch kaala hai.” He added, after they analyse the EVM data, they will understand “how this magic took place”. However, I have heard remarks by some of our colleagues on EVMs but I will not comment till I have more information.” Former chief minister Prithviraj Chavan, who lost the polls from Karad South constituency, met Pawar, and asked the state leadership to call a meeting of all the candidates who lost the polls to understand the reason behind it. Taking her father’s train of thought, NCP working president Supriya Sule stated on ‘X’ that while she “respects and accepts the verdict with humility, this result leads to a moment for deep reflection and renewal.” She underscored that it was time to “learn and rebuild with honesty, hard work and unshakable values we stand for – we are determined to carry forward the timeless ideals of Shiv-Shahu-Phule-Ambedkar with renewed energy and purpose”.
