EVM row: BJP slams Opposition for not accepting defeat 'gracefully'

March 17, 2017 08:56

Taking a jibe at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati for making false allegations on the electronic voting machine tampering row, the Bharatiya Janata Party on Friday said it feels nothing but pity on them for facing such defeat.

"The opposition party does not have the grace to accept the defeat in the recent assembly election. Instead of introspecting into their loss they are making lame excuses and accusing BJP of false allegation like EVM have been tampered," BJP leader S Prakash said.

Further slamming the Opposition, Prakash asserted that the Election Commission has rightly clarified that the EVM can't be tampered in any form, which made their entire argument null and void.

"This speaks very low about the opposition's spirit in accepting their set back. The Election Commission of India has rightly clarified that the EVM cannot be tampered in any form, so why is the opposition prolonging this further. My sympathies are with Mayawati, Kerjwal and all those who support them," said Prakash.
