Senior Congress leader and Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament, Digvijaya Singh, has raised serious concerns over the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)`s victory in the recent Maharashtra assembly elections. Singh alleged that the BJP secured its win by manipulating targeted polling booths using Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). The Congress leader’s comments come amid the BJP`s sweeping victory in the polls, which saw the party and its allies claim 230 out of the total 288 seats.

Singh, who has long been a vocal critic of the BJP, took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his grievances. In his post, he claimed, "The results of the Maharashtra elections unfolded exactly as the BJP wanted. They fielded 148 candidates and secured victories in 132 of these, with a success strike rate of 89 percent." He further suggested that the BJP could form a government even without the support of the Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), adding that the victory was the result of manipulation through EVMs.
