Reactions: Mayawati cries EVM tampering as BJP even won in Muslim majority areas

BSP supremo Mayawati whose party is performing poorly in UP seems to be very angry with the verdict. Today when she called a press conference, people expected that she would issue a statement conceding her party’s defeat, but surprisingly her press conference actually turned out to be a stage to create sensationalism and drama. She hurled allegations like EVM tampering and claimed that EVM tempering is the reason why BJP has won most votes in Muslim majority constituencies.

Besides questioning the integrity of India’s electoral process, she stereotyped the entire Muslim community into one which is always expected to vote in a set way. To avoid the so called ‘voter fraud’ she demanded that Ballot papers be brought back in the electoral process.

She even created elaborate conspiracy theories to substantiate her claims:

Understandably people reacted to Mayawati’s unsportsmanlike comments:

Even journalists panned her for the statements:

Is this the reason she is so nervous?
