Samajwadi Party chief and Lok Sabha MP Akhilesh Yadav said Sunday that he was unable to digest the Bihar election results while questioning the high ‘strike rate’ of the NDA coalition in the state.
Addressing a news conference in Bengaluru, he accused the Election Commission (EC) of abdicating from its responsibility of ensuring fair representation to everyone in the elections and carrying out revision of the voter list in booths where the BJP was losing
“This result, of double century, I am not able to digest. We are not able to accept it. How can those large numbers of seats be won? How can the strike rate be so high?” he said, adding that other parties have to learn from BJP about contesting from a specific number of seats.
“What we learn from BJP, we will implement the same in return,” Yadav said.
Responding to a question on the Special Intensive Revision, he said that it was the responsibility of EC to ensure free and fair elections, and to assure that everyone can cast their votes. “Why is the EC not saying that they won’t let anyone lose their vote?” he asked.
Yadav also alleged that the “BJP was able to create Aadhaar cards and voter-ids in half an hour.”
On ‘vote chori’, he said that the issue was above chori (theft) and was dacoity. “This is not an allegation. This is the truth,” Yadav said, adding that during bypolls in Uttar Pradesh thousands of voters were not allowed to exercise their franchise by the police.
