Swara Bhasker EVM reaction
After Fahad started to trail behind, Swara Bhasker took to her X handle and slammed the Election Commission of India (ECI) pointing out something fishy with the EVM machines. Bhasker wrote, "In #AnushaktiNagar vidhaan sabha after a steady lead by @FahadZirarAhmad of NCP-SP.. round 17, 18, 19 suddenly 99% battery charger EVMs are opened and BJP supported NCP-Ajit Pawar candidate takes lead. How can machines that have been voted on ALL day long have 99% charged batteries? Why do all 99% charged batteries give votes to BJP and its allies?"
