Keshav Prasad Maurya: When the opposition starts losing elections, it sometimes blames EVMs and sometimes on the Election Commission. The public knows who is working for their rights and who is just spreading confusion.
Following are the main points of the statement:
• Opposition lacks issues: The Deputy Chief Minister said that the opposition is currently completely devoid of issues. After losing the trust of the public, they are now looking for an excuse to blame their defeat on the constitutional institutions. Complaints about deletion of names from the voter list are just a desperate attempt to hide their failure.
• Impartiality of the Election Commission: Shri Maurya clarified that the Election Commission of India is an independent and impartial constitutional institution. The Commission is working for all political parties in equal spirit. Alleging bias in the government or at any level is not only baseless but also against the dignity of democracy.
• Appreciating the integrity of the employees: While defending the officers and employees engaged in the election work, he said that the entire staff working under the Commission is working day and night with complete integrity and transparency. Questioning their hard work is like demoralizing the thousands of employees who are working to strengthen democracy.
• Cleanliness is paramount in democracy: In the end, the Deputy Chief Minister said that the BJP government has always been in favor of fair elections and protection of democratic values. The opposition should leave negative politics and discuss development issues.
