Moradabad (Uttar Pradesh): Samajwadi Party (SP) leader ST Hasan criticized the "defective" electoral system expressed distrust in the Electronic Voting Machine (EVMs) after the BJP-led NDA after landslide victory in Maharashtra assembly elections and Uttar Pradesh bypolls. The SP leader said that the Maharashtra assembly elections were "unexpected" and alleged that the police and administration were influential to the Samajwadi party voters in the Uttar Pradesh bypolls. Speaking to ANI, Hasan said, "We have been saying this since the past five years that our electoral system is 'defective.
' We do not trust the EVMs and when I was in the parliament, we (SP) proposed that to ensure greater transparency both EVMs and ballot boxes should be counted, and that VVPAT slips should be handed to voters and placed in the ballot box." "In Maharashtra, nobody thought that the NDA-alliance would cross 200 and the MVA would be stuck to merely 50 seats in the assembly polls.The results were unexpected.
The e-voting process appears to be effective in preventing fake votes and ensuring that the voting process remains free from external influence. To protect democracy, a change in the electoral system is necessary," said ST Hasan. The ruling Mahayuti alliance won the Maharashtra assembly polls and is poised for a landslide mandate with JMM-led alliance slated to return to power in Jharkhand with the ruling parties also performing well in the bypolls to 48 seats and two Lok Sabha seats across 15 seats.
