Maharashtra election results: Actress Swara Bhasker blames EVMs after husband Fahad Ahmad's poll defeat
Saturday, 23 November 2024 Swara Bhasker has raised concerns about potential EVM irregularities following her husband, Fahad Ahmad's, defeat in the Maharashtra Assembly elections. Ahmad, an NCP (SCP) candidate, initially led in the Anushakti Nagar constituency but lost to the BJP-supported NCP-Ajit Pawar candidate after a late surge. Bhasker questioned the sudden appearance of EVMs with 99% battery charge, suggesting possible manipulation.

The Maharashtra Assembly elections once again spotlighted the opposition’s habit of blaming EVMs when results don’t favor them. In Solapur's Markadwadi village, NCP(SP) supporters, upset over BJP’s Ram Satpute leading locally despite Uttamrao Jankar’s overall win, planned an illegal ballot “re-election.” Authorities rightly shut it down, calling it anti-democratic. Ironically, EVMs—introduced by Congress—are now their scapegoat. Locals dismissed the rhetoric, crediting Satpute’s development work, with one saying, “He earned his votes, no tampering needed.”

Elon Musk took to X (formerly Twitter) to praise India's efficient and swift vote-counting process, contrasting it with the delays faced by California in finalising its election results. In his post, Musk highlighted how India, with its electronic voting machines (EVMs) and voter verifiable paper audit trails (VVPATs), was able to count a staggering 640 million votes in a single day during the recent elections. This stands in stark contrast to California, which has been struggling to count votes nearly 20 days after the election, largely due to complicated mail-in ballot procedures and decentralised local election systems. Musk emphasised the scalability and efficiency of India's centralised election oversight, led by the Election Commission, while criticising the slow and cumbersome system in California. His comments have sparked debate on the effectiveness of different electoral systems, with many praising India's handling of large-scale elections.

The exit polls for Maharashtra Assembly Elections 2024 predict a comfortable majority for the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance, signaling another term in power. The Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance, comprising the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena, Congress, and NCP (Sharad Pawar faction), faces a significant setback as poll numbers suggest a loss of key constituencies.
Mahayuti's stronghold across rural and urban Maharashtra appears to have been bolstered by grassroots campaigns and alliance strategies. Meanwhile, the MVA is grappling with questions about its approach and leadership challenges.

Sharad Pawar defended fielding Yugendra against Ajit Pawar in Baramati despite the latter's dominant win. Acknowledging his faction's poor performance with just 10 seats, Pawar credited the Mahayuti's women-centric Ladki Bahin scheme for its electoral success. He emphasized reconnecting with voters and learning from the results while refraining from commenting on allies' EVM allegations. Despite setbacks, Pawar expressed determination to rebuild his party and highlighted the contrasting outcomes between the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections as a key lesson.
