Manickam Tagore clarified that the recent allegations about EVMs were made by the NCP (Sharad Pawar faction), Shiv Sena (UBT), and Samajwadi Party.
The Congress has claimed that ally Omar Abdullah's approach to issues concerning the opposition has changed since he became Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir. The dig followed the National Conference leader junking allegations about the manipulation of EVMs or Electronic Voting Machines - raised by the Congress and several opposition parties.
Manickam Tagore, a senior Congress parliamentarian, said the recent allegations about EVMs following the Maharashtra election results were made by the NCP (Sharad Pawar faction), Shiv Sena (UBT), and Samajwadi Party.
"It's the Samajwadi Party, NCP, and Shiv Sena UBT that have spoken against EVMs. Please check your facts, CM @OmarAbdullah. The Congress CWC resolution clearly addresses the ECI only. Why this approach to our partners after being CM?" asked Mr Tagore.
