Mumbai: Signalling a rift in the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance after Congress blamed the EVM over its failure to secure majority in recently concluded Maharashtra assembly elections, the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar faction) (NCP-SP) has rubbished the grand-old party’s claim.  

NCP (SP) leader and Baramati MP Supriya Sule said that blaming EVM is wrong, weakening the voice of the opposition.

She added that EVM can’t be blamed without proof.

I Won 4 Polls With Same EVMs: Sule

“I think it is not right for me to make allegations until I have some concrete evidence in hand. I won four polls with the same EVMs,” said Sule during her visit to Pune on Wednesday.

“This whole issue (EVM malfunction) is very disturbing..Is there any technical problem in it or is there any discrepancy in the voter list..it needs to be discussed…until we have technical proof. Come on..it is not right to blame EVMs…until you have solid evidence…because I myself have won many elections with this EVM,” she further said.

However, She expessed that several people and political parties, including BJD and AAP, claim to have the data to prove their allegations of EVM manipulation.

She added that discussions were needed to uncover the truth as others have claimed to possess evidence of manipulation.
