Mumbai: The BJP leader Chandrashekhar Bawankule has slammed the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) for holding 'Satyacha Morcha' Rally today, November 1 over alleged irregularities in the state’s voter lists. Launching a sharp attack, the BJP leader questioned the MPs of the MVA who were elected to the Lok Sabha in Maharashtra through the same EVMs and asked if they aslo engaged in vote theft.
While addressing the media, he said, "The same lists that are being objected today were used to elect MPs from the Maha Vikas Aghadi in the recent Lok Sabha Elections. So did those MPs steal votes? They won through the same EVM and the same voter list."
Shinde's Sena leader says 'no permission has been granted for rally'
On the protest to be held today, Eknath ShindeShiv Sena leader Manisha Kayande said that no permission has been granted for the rally. She added that these people are facing an existential crisis and have merely gathered to display their strength. "There are two main issues, first, they object to the faulty voter list, and we agree that it should be clean and clear. Second, they are raising concerns about EVMs. Yet when the Election Commission invited hackers to demonstrate whether EVMs could be hacked, no such individuals came forward," Manisha Kayande said.
