Swara Bhasker cries foul play, claims EVM's tampered after husband trails following steady lead
Mumbai: Actor and activist Swara Bhasker raised concerns about the functioning of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), after her husband Fahad Ahmad, the candidate from Sharad Pawar's NCP faction was trailing behind Sana Malik, the candidate from Ajit Pawar's NCP faction, by over 3,000 votes as counting nears completion.
Taking to micro-blogging platform ‘X’, Bhasker alleged irregularities in the voting process. “In Anushakti Nagar assembly seat, after a steady lead by Fahad Zirar Ahmad of NCP-SP till round 17, 18, 19, suddenly EVMs with 99% battery charge are opened, and BJP-supported NCP-Ajit Pawar candidate takes the lead,” she posted.
She further questioned the Election Commission, saying, “How can machines that have been voted on ALL day long still have 99% charged batteries? Why do all such EVMs favor BJP and its allies?” Bhasker tagged the Election Commission and Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) leaders, urging them to investigate the matter.
In addition, Fahad Ahmad also expressed skepticism over the results, stating he had been leading until the 17th round and vowed to seek clarification from the Election Commission.
The Anushakti Nagar contest has drawn significant attention, with a high stakes battle between Fahad Ahmed facing Sana Malik, daughter of veteran leader and former Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik.
The Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Chandra Pawar Faction) contested on 87 seats, and is currently leading on 13 seats.
The Election Commission is yet to respond to the claims of irregularities.
