Jagdalpur: After the debacle in the Maharashtra elections, with the blame now being placed on the EVM, the demand for voting through ballot papers is growing. Against this backdrop, a senior Congress leader said the Congress will not participate in the elections without a separate ticket. The statement was made by senior Congress leader and former Chhattisgarh minister Kavasi Rahma. He said on Wednesday his party would not participate in the upcoming election if the voting system was not reintroduced.
Congress will engage in dialogue with all coalition partners
Rahma told reporters in Jagdalpur, the state’s Bastar district headquarters, that his party would protest against the demand for the ballot system. “The Congress will not participate in the upcoming elections unless the elections are held through ballot papers,” Rahma said. “The Congress will hold talks with all alliance partners (‘India’ block) and lodge protests.”
Congress is determined to launch a major movement
He said, “All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Mallikarjun Haggarji issued a statement yesterday. There will be meetings (with alliance partners) now. Currently, the Lok Sabha meeting is ongoing. With “India “A further strategy will be worked out after the alliance partners meet. The Congress is determined to launch a big movement.
Events like ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’
Congress president Mallikarjun Haq on Tuesday criticized the electronic voting system and demanded the restoration of the ballot paper voting system used in the elections earlier. Haq said votes from the weaker sections are being lost and in such a situation, voting should be done through ballot papers and for this requirement, campaigns like ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ must be launched. He also alleged at the ‘Samvidhan Rakshak Abhiyan’ program organized by various sections of the Congress that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is afraid of conducting a caste census as he feels that in doing so all classes will start demanding their share.
we need votes
The Congress president had said, “People from SC, ST, OBC and poor classes are trying their best to vote and their votes are being wasted. We need to vote through the ballot box.” He said sarcastically, “Let the machines stay in Mo Ji’s house, or Amit Shah’s house, let it be stored in some warehouse in Ahmedabad. But we need votes. “The campaign should start from the party’s side,” Harg said. All parties will be informed. Just like the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ under Rahul Gandhi, similarly the ‘votes needed’ movement had to be launched after the disastrous defeat in Maharashtra.
