Congress won polls through deceit: Yogi on assembly elections

December 13, 2018 08:55

A day after the BJP was pushed out of power from three major states in the Hindi heartland, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath downplayed the Congress's victories by saying that it had achieved electoral success through deceit.

"The Congress's lies will start unravelling soon, and that will make our future battles even easier," the firebrand BJP leader said.

Adityanath campaigned extensively for the recent assembly elections in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Telangana.

Addressing mediapersons, the BJP leader said that victories and defeats were part of the democratic process and one should accept both outcomes in all humility. "But we never bask in our victories while blaming our defeats on electronic voting machines, unlike our rivals who practise serious double standards in this regard. When they win, they immediately start worshipping the EVMs," he claimed.
