Lucknow, Dec 2: Following widespread allegations of use of tampered Electronic Voting Machines
(EVMs) in Uttar Pradesh civic elections, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo
Mayawati on Saturday demanded use of the traditional ballot paper in Lok Sabha
elections in 2019.
“If Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) is honest and believes in
democracy then it should discard EVMs and conduct voting through ballot papers.
General elections are due in 2019,” Ms Mayawati said. “If BJP leaders believe
people are with them, they must implement it. I can guarantee if ballot papers
are used, BJP won't come to power ever again.”
She made the remarks during her visit to Risaldar Park area in the heart of Lucknow to pay tributes Bhante Pragyanand, who died in Lucknow on November 30 following a prolonged illness. He was 90.
While engaged in a brief chat with media personnel, Ms Mayawati looked enthused by the party's performance in the civic polls in which it snatched two mayoral seats from Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP).
The BSP supremo thanked the sarv samaj for supporting her party candidates and blamed the BJP for misusing official machinery to win the elections.
“Had BJP not misused the official machinery, the BSP could have won more mayoral seats,” she claimed. UNI
