BJP State President cum Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary has welcomed the decision of the Supreme Court. Also attacked RJD fiercely. He said that by rejecting all the petitions filed regarding VVPET, the Supreme Court has ruined the opposition’s plan to win the elections by looting the booths. After the Supreme Court’s decision on EVMs, those looting ballot boxes of parties like RJD in Bihar have got a befitting reply. He said that RJD, which played the naked game of booth looting and violence during elections in Bihar for one and a half decade, has defamed EVMs by running a campaign for the last several years along with other opposition parties, whereas India’s election system is praised in the world. Has been.
Enumerate the story of murder and booth robbery from 1990 to 2004.
Samrat Chaudhary said that today RJD has forgotten the booth looting and election violence of its era. From 1990 to 2004, 641 people were killed in violent incidents in a total of 9 Lok Sabha, Assembly and Panchayat elections held through ballot paper. In the 2000 assembly elections, there was firing at 39 places and 61 people were killed in election violence. In 1990, 87 people and in 1999, 76 people were victims of election violence. 196 people lost their lives in the 2001 Panchayat elections.
Lalu also gave the reason for re-polling in time
Samrat Chaudhary said that in the 1998 Lok Sabha elections, cases were registered against two dozen RJD ministers and MLAs for booth looting, violence and obstruction in voting. Bihar was the only state in the country where re-polling was the highest due to election violence and booth looting. It was as a result of large-scale booth-looting and violence that Chhapra Lok Sabha constituency from where Lalu Prasad was contesting in 2004 and Purnia and Patna Lok Sabha elections twice in the 90s had to be postponed. In the 1995 Bihar Assembly elections, re-polling had to be conducted at 1668 polling stations due to widespread complaints of booth looting.
The emperor told how the genie came out of the bottle.
Before the NDA government came to power in 2005, incidents of booth looting, violence, fighting, snatching of ballot boxes and pouring ink in the boxes were common in every election. Everyone, from the common voter to the polling personnel, were scared of the elections. RJD-Congress used to ensure their election victory only through booth looting and Lalu used to call this a genie coming out of a bottle. After the transparency of elections conducted through EVMs, not only their looting was stopped but their electoral graph also went down. They are opposing EVMs by making false allegations so that jungle rule can be established once again through electoral violence.
