BJP-led alliance won Maharashtra polls through ‘fraud like never before’: Congress chief

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party-led alliance won the Maharashtra Assembly elections through “fraud like never before”.

Addressing the 86th All India Congress Committee Convention in Ahmedabad, Kharge said: “There has never been a fraud like the one that happened in Maharashtra polls, which was aimed at destroying democracy and defeating the Opposition.”

Kharge also questioned the use of electronic voting machines, claiming that while the world is shifting to ballot papers, India continues to use EVMs.

“This is all fraud,” he said. “They ask us to prove it. You have devised such techniques that benefit the ruling party and put the opposition at a disadvantage.”

He added that the Opposition party’s leaders and lawyers are working towards uncovering the fraud.
