The opposition group in Maharashtra, called the INDIA bloc, plans to ask the Supreme Court for help after believing that there was unfair handling of voting machines (EVMs) during the recent assembly elections.
Prashant Jagtap, a leader in the NCP party, announced this decision after meeting with important leaders like Sharad Pawar, who is the chief of NCP, Arvind Kejriwal from AAP, and Congress leader Abhishek Singhvi in New Delhi. Pawar had spoken with other leaders from his party who were disappointed with their election losses.
The INDIA bloc thinks they lost because the voting machines were manipulated to help the ruling BJP-led Mahayuti coalition. In last month’s elections, the BJP coalition won 235 out of 288 seats, while the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance only got 46 seats.
During the meeting, Kejriwal also expressed worry about the voter lists in Delhi, where elections are coming up early next year.
