Addressing media persons in the city, the two leaders have said that there was a huge difference in polled votes and the votes that were counted on the counting day. They also said that they would fight on the issue of deletion of the names of 22 lakh voters in the days to come. The leaders wanted to know if the CEO or the election commission had powers to delete the names of 22 lakh voters from the voters’ list.
Shravan Kumar also alleged that huge number of irregularities have taken place during the election campaign. Making serious allegations against the CEO Rajat Kumar, he said that people who commit such mistakes would be publicly executed in gulf countries. He said the EC had acted as a servant of the ruling party. He said that if a lie detector test is conducted on Rajat Kumar, the facts would come out.
