Joining the row over alleged unauthorised EVM access, MLA Aaditya Thackeray said on Monday that the official machinery was misused to snatch victory from Shiv Sena (UBT) in the Mumbai North-West LS constituency. He said the party will file a petition in court against the alleged electoral malpractice.
Terming the result a “fraud”-Sena’s Ravindra Waikar Thackeray won over Sena (UBT)’s Amol Kirtikar by just 48 votes-said there is an ongoing debate on the election process and EVMs.“If we look at the election result, it shows Election Commission of India is not the poll panel, but an ‘Entirely Compromised Commission’. They are working at the behest of a particular party,” he said. Thackeray said that the party will release the technical details during the court battle, showing how govt machinery was misused.
