Mumbai: Prakash Ambedkar, president of Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi in a press meet on Friday alleged there were discrepancies in the number of votes polled and the number that have been declared by the EC across the state.
“There are discrepancies in the number of votes polled and the number of votes counted. This is seen in all the 48 seats. All the figures are declared by the returning officer and EC,” said Ambedkar. He added, “Every political party should probe it.”
The EC has stated 100% accuracy of EVM, even in front of SC. However, Ambedkar, who has been accused by the Congress of cutting their votes said, this discrepancy ranges from a minimum of 106 votes to 1,380 votes. “We expect EC to explain the difference between the polled and the counted votes. If no explanation is received from EC, our party will file a plea against EC till it provides a proper explanation,” he said.
