New Delhi: Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati on Friday attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and accused them of malpractices during the just concluded first phase of the Lok Sabha polls, and also cautioned the Election Commission to brush up its act and carry out its “constitutional responsibility” during the remaining six phases.
She tweeted that with the voters rejecting the ruling BJP in the ongoing Lok Sabha election, the party has now decided to gain victory by, “Not by vote but by notes; EVM rigging; and abuse of police/administration”.
सत्ताधारी बीजेपी को इस लोकसभा चुनाव में आमजनता द्वारा बुरी तरह से नकारे जाने का ही परिणाम है कि अब
* बीजेपी वोट से नहीं बल्कि नोटों से
* ईवीएम की धांधली से
* पुलिस/प्रशासन तंत्र के दुरुपयोग सेे
* ईवीएम में चुनाव कर्मचारियों से ही बटन दबवाकर आदि धांधलियों से चुनाव जीतना चाहती है।— Mayawati (@Mayawati) April 12, 2019
Raising finger over EVM control, she said: “The election staff wants to win the elections by pushing the button with the sticks”.
“If there is a need to save the faith of common people in the country, then it is the constitutional responsibility of the Election Commission to take cognisance of these things seriously and take urgent measures so that the elections of the next phase can be free and fair,” Mayawati added.
यदि देश केे लोकतंत्र में आमजनता की आस्था को बचाये रखना है तो फिर चुनाव आयोग की यह संवैधानिक जिम्मेदारी बनती है कि वह इन बातों को गंभीरतापूर्वक संज्ञान ले और तत्काल आवश्यक उपाय करे ताकि अगले सभी चरण के चुनाव स्वतंत्र व निष्पक्ष हो सके।
