BJP National Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla on Wednesday, levelled allegations against the Congress party for spreading lies and colluding with anti-national forces to win election.
"When yesterday the BJP government was formed for the third time in Haryana and that too with a huge majority, one thing is clear that those who were spreading lies against a party, against the country, today the people of Haryana have defeated all those lies... The way the Congress party had said things that hurt the Hindu faith to unite the vote bank, it has also got a befitting reply. The Congress party is ready to support the forces working against the country to defeat the BJP... Congress joins hands with anti-national forces only to win elections.." he said. He targeted Congress for accusing the institutional election body for alleged mismatch in voter data. "At 8.30 pm, the wind was blowing in their favour and jalebi was being distributed by 11 o'clock, then they thought the counting was slow, the democracy was in danger. By 12.30, the democracy was about to end, because the EVM had been ruined. And at 2 o'clock, they declared that everything, the election, was not going to go well, and this was the defeat of the democracy." "Meaning, if the election is won in Telangana, then the democracy is fine, the EVM is fine. If I win the election in Jammu and Kashmir with alliance partner, then the democracy is right. If I lose in Haryana, then I will abuse the public, the EVM, the democracy. This has become the nature of the Congress Party. And this has been done many times. You will abuse the democratic institutions against one party. And that too sometimes abroad, sometimes in the country" he added. Meanwhile, Election Commission on Tuesday termed as "ill-founded" Congress allegation of slowdown in updating results of assembly polls in Haryana and said it rejects the attempt "to surreptitiously give credence to irresponsible, unfounded and uncorroborated malafide narratives". ECI responded to a memorandum by Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh in which the party complained about "unexplained slowdown" in updating of results of Haryana assembly polls on its website.
