Responding to Congress leader Rashid Alvi's demand that voting should be conducted using ballot papers, Shiv Sena MP Naresh Mhaske on Tuesday alleged that Pakistan and Congress are alike, sharing similar thoughts that may harm India.
"Pakistan and Congress are alike, sharing similar thoughts that may harm India. People realize Congress's intentions are harmful and deceitful, leading to their decline. This has led to widespread disillusionment, causing people to turn away from Congress," Mhaske told ANI. Ahead of the announcement of dates for the Jharkhand and Maharashtra assembly elections, Congress leader Rashid Alvi on Tuesday demanded that voting should be conducted using ballot papers. He said if electronic voting machines (EVMs) would be used, the BJP government and the Election Commission "can do anything. Mhaske alleged that the Congress party's mental balance has been shaken by the recent election results in Haryana. "They (Congress) realize their negative campaigns, like 'Save the Constitution' and false promises, have been exposed. People now see them as misleading and dishonest, and their defeat is certain. This is why they're spreading fake narratives," he said. Mhaske said that the Congress didn't question electronic voting when it was in power. "Now, they're comparing themselves to Israel and making baseless claims. Pakistan's government has also pointed out Congress's agreement on Kashmir. People understand Congress's intentions are harmful to India, and they're turning away from the party," he said. Earlier Speaking on Maharashtra and Jharkhand poll dates to be announced today, Congress leader Rashid Alvi said, "In Maharashtra, the opposition should put pressure to insist on voting by paper ballot and not EVMs. Otherwise, in Maharashtra, BJP government and EC can do anything." "If Israel can kill people by use of pagers and walkie-talkies, then where does EVM stand? The PM has very good relations with Israel. Israel is an expert in such things," he added. (ANI)
