'I have some figures to present before you. Some of the last election results have shocked us. There was extraordinary polling in Maharashtra. The voting percentage was soaring after 5 pm. People have been suspicious for some time. Therefore, there is a need for transparency in the election process. The Election Commission is hiding many things.
There are 40 lakh mysterious voters in Maharashtra. The Election Commission destroyed the documents here. The Commission did not provide the voters list despite the Congress' request. The CCTV footage was destroyed after 45 days. The Election Commission is stealing votes in collusion with the BJP.
There are dual voters in every constituency. There are many people with fake addresses. Non-existent voters are being inserted into the list. There are many people whose house number is '0'. Some have only letters in place of their father's name. 68 people have the address of an industrial establishment. More than 40,000 fake voters in one constituency alone.
Similar irregularities have taken place in Karnataka too. In the Mahadevapura constituency under Bengaluru Central in Karnataka alone, there was a huge fraud. More than one lakh votes were stolen through various means. BJP won 25 seats with a margin of less than 33,000 votes. Votes were stolen through five means across the country. The Election Commission is showing a criminal fraud.’
