A day after the BJP won its third consecutive term in power, AIMIM chairman Asaduddin Owaisi attacked the Congress on Wednesday for blaming EVMs for their failure in the Haryana assembly polls. He noted, “It is very easy to blame EVMs,” pointing out that Congress only criticizes EVMs when they lose. EVMs help you win, and when you lose, something is amiss.
Owaisi also said that, given several unfavourable factors, the BJP should have lost the election.
“It is very easy to blame EVMs. You win due to EVMs and when you lose, then it is wrong. My opinion is that the BJP should have lost this state. There were many factors which were going against them,” Owaisi told ANI.
He criticized Congress for not capitalizing on anti-incumbency in Haryana, attributing the BJP’s win to Congress’s internal conflicts, which allowed the BJP to take advantage of the situation.
“Congress should have taken advantage of the 10 years of anti-incumbency, but it seems that due to their internal differences, the BJP benefited. If you give the BJP even a little opening in an electoral battle, they will capitalize on it,” he said.
“After the 2024 Parliament elections, I had said that those claiming BJP’s success is driven by hatred were wrong. I had said at that time as well, it’s not the case. So, who is responsible for BJP’s success? You (Congress) are the main opposition and had a golden opportunity to defeat the BJP, but you failed to do so,” he added.
