The recent Haryana assembly election results have ignited controversy, with Congress leaders pointing fingers at Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) after their defeat. However, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has slammed the Congress for this line of reasoning, accusing them of blaming EVMs only when they lose and claiming that the party's internal conflicts ultimately led to their loss in Haryana. Owaisi stated that the BJP should have lost the election considering several factors that worked against them, and that Congress missed an opportunity to capitalize on the anti-incumbency factor due to their internal divisions.
Owaisi further emphasized that Congress, as the main opposition party, had a prime opportunity to defeat the BJP in Haryana but failed to do so. He highlighted their responsibility in BJP's success, stating that their internal conflicts allowed the BJP to capitalize on the situation. This sentiment resonates with the common perception that Congress's internal strife often hinders their ability to effectively challenge the ruling party.
Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, have expressed concerns about EVMs in specific constituencies like Hisar, Mahendragarh, and Panipat, alleging that the BJP won on machines with a higher battery percentage compared to Congress victories. These allegations have been met with a dismissal from the Election Commission, which labeled them as unfounded and irresponsible. However, Congress continues to insist on pursuing these complaints with the ECI, further escalating the debate surrounding the fairness and integrity of the electoral process in Haryana.
