New Delhi, Dec 3 (UNI) A delegation of the Congress party met the Election Commission of India here on Tuesday and raised issues related to Maharashtra elections.
The delegation included Abhishek Singhvi, Mukul Wasnik, Pawan Khera, Nana Patole, Praveen Chakravarty, and Gurdeep Sappal.
Briefing the media after the meeting, Singhvi said they had a detailed and comprehensive discussion with ECI in a positive and cordial atmosphere.
He said the delegation raised some serious issues with the commission and sought detailed clarification for transparency and removing various doubts.
He said the Congress delegation brought to the notice of the commission how lakhs of voters were deleted from the voter lists in Maharashtra. He said the delegation sought all the data at the booth and the constituency level, as it could have influenced the result.
Singhvi said the party delegation also raised the issue of the addition of 47 lakh voters in the list since the conclusion of the Lok Sabha elections. He said the party has sought various details of the process involved in deleting and adding the names in the voter lists.
On the polling percentage, he said, the party raised the issue of the unprecedented increase in voting percentages from the seemingly provisional percentage and the final percentage.
The party also raised the issue of about 25,000 more votes cast in 118 constituencies this time as compared to the Lok Sabha elections. This massive jump in so many constituencies was surprising. More so, of these 118 constituencies, the ruling alliance won in 102 constituencies, which raises serious questions and doubts.
