Raj Babbar has lost the polls. His kids complain he was cheated. While daughter Juhi says Mayawati used her clout to make sure her father was defeated, son Aarya claims to expose Behenji's 'cheating ways' on Facebook

She has directly said that yeh doh seats u2026 Agra aur Fatehpur Sikri humari honi chahiye... Aur kisi ki nahin.. Humari izzat ka sawaal hain...'
Aarya Babbar on his Facebook account
Congress candidate from Fatehpur Sikri Raj Babbar has lost to Bahujan Samaj Party's (BSP) Seema Upadhaya. The margin a paltry 9,936 votes.
Expectedly, Babbar's children are not happy with the result. And they are letting the world know of their disapproval.
They suspect BSP supremo and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati rigged the counting process because she wanted her party's candidate to win from the seat.
While sister Juhi Babbar alleges that Mayawati avenged her father's refusal to join her after quitting the Samajwadi Party, brother Aarya has posted a scathing letter on Facebook, allegedly revealing Behenji's "cheating" ways.
In his note titled 'Im a common Indian Man [sic]' on his Facebook account, Aarya Babbar, a budding actor, has claimed to have revealed the dark underbelly of Indian politics.
Interestingly, the note that was posted at 7.15 on Monday morning, has already received more than 50 comments praising his courage and honesty.
"I don't want to make an issue. And there is no vested political interest behind this letter. The aim behind writing the note was to connect with Indian youngsters, most of who are Facebook users, and make them aware of the harsh realities that cripple our political system.

I saw my father being cheated at the polls. And I was frustrated and irritated with what was happening. I want more and more people to read my note and react to it," said Aarya, who has in his letter accused Mayawati of rigging.
Juhi Babbar, meanwhile, was more categorical about why her father was targeted by the BSP chief.
"Mayawati wanted dad to join BSP. When he chose the Congress instead, she did this. It is the result of him not joining BSP," said Juhi.
"Considering the good work that my dad had done in his earlier constituency, Agra, it is tough to understand why he was defeated.
He wouldn't have lost if the election was fair. So shocking were the results that the entire constituency mourned his defeat.
Under these circumstances, how can an honest politician work for the well-being of our countrymen? We need to think and be more responsible," she added.
Meanwhile, Seema Upadhyay couldn't be contacted for her comment despite repeated attempts.
Raj Babbar said it too
In an earlier interview to MiD DAY, the man in question, Raj Babbar, had said, "Mayawati's politics should be
checked."
