Swara Bhasker blames EVM integrity after husband Fahad Ahmad lost in Maharashtra election 2024 |
Bollywood star Swara Bhasker’s husband Fahad Ahmad contested in the Maharashtra Elections 2024 from Anushakti Nagar as a candidate of the Sharad Pawar-led NCP faction. The result of the elections didn’t favour Fahad Ahmad and Swara Bhasker reacted on the same. After seeing the large number with which Fahad lost, Swara took to X and questioned the Election Commission about the EVMs, blaming them for her husband’s loss.
“In #AnushaktiNagar vidhaan sabha after a steady lead by @FahadZirarAhmad of NCP-SP.. round 17, 18, 19 suddenly 99% battery charger EVMs are opened and BJP supported NCP-Ajit Pawar candidate takes lead. How can machines that have been voted on ALL day long have 99% charged batteries? Why do all 99% charged batteries give votes to BJP and its allies?” Swara questioned.
Fahad Ahmad also shared a video, raising similar questions.“After round 16 and a steady lead in all rounds.. EVM machines that were 99% charged were opened and BJP supported NCP Ajit Pawar candidate took a lead ..@ECISVEEP @SpokespersonECI this is rank manipulation. We demand a recount of rounds 16, 17, 18 and 19,” he said, sharing the video.
Supporting her husband, Swara reposted the video. At the same time, Swara made sure to thank all those who supported Fahad in his journey and guided him on every step. She shared a couple of tweets to express her gratitude.
