We are saying that stall these results and do the elections from paper ballots and we would win the elections. We were leading in the morning in the paper ballots in these elections early but then when the counting in the EVM happened things changed.”said Sanjay Raut Rajya Sabha MP and party spokesperson of the Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray Sena.Raut claimed that they want elections to be held through paper ballots. “We are not saying this because we lost, we have been saying against EVM for the last ten years. Now they (BJP) claim that they won in Jharkhand and lost in Maharashtra but we would like to tell them to do one thing: take Jharkhand and let us win in Maharashtra. Do something in the EVM machine and let us win in Maharashtra.”said Raut sarcastically. Raut claimed that the BJP has been winning the elections by letting the opposition win a smaller state and then winning a bigger state. “ In the Uttar Pradesh assembly polls they would have an election in UP and some other smaller state and let the opposition win in the smaller state and they themselves will win in UP.”claimed the UBT MP.Referring to NCP-SP leader Sharad Pawar’s claim on Monday that the BJP was winning in the bigger states. “ What revolutionary work have these (ruling party) MLAs done that they won the elections by getting such numbers. A leader like Sharad Pawar has also raised suspicions.”said Raut.Breaking his silence on Mahayuti’s election victory on Sunday, Sharad Pawar expressed surprise at the election results and raised doubts, “There are some people who have given a different angle to this,(EVM controversy). Four months back there were elections in Jammu and Kashmir and Haryana. The BJP lost in Jammu and Kashmir but won in Haryana. The Maharashtra polls were delayed by a month and taken with Jharkhand, now the Cong JMM has won in Jharkhand and the BJP in Maharashtra. So lose in a smaller state and win in a bigger state, this seems to be a funny game.”said Pawar.Adding further, “ So if tomorrow somebody objects about the EVM they could say what about that state where you (opposition) came to power, this was the same EVM then.”said Pawar.", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.etimg.com/thumb/msid-115647676,resizemode-4,width-1200,height-900,imgsize-61440,overlay-economictimes/articleshow.jpg", "width": 1200, "height": 900 }, "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Krishna Kumar" }, "publisher": { "@type": "NewsMediaOrganization", "name": "Economic Times", "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.etimg.com/thumb/msid-76939477,width-600,height-60,quality-100/economictimes.jpg", "width": 600, "height": 60 } } , "isAccessibleForFree" : "https://schema.org/False", "hasPart": { "@type": "WebPageElement", "isAccessibleForFree": "https://schema.org/False", "cssSelector" : ".paywall" }, "isPartOf": { "@type": ["CreativeWork", "Product"], "name" : "Economic Times", "productID": "prime.economictimes.indiatimes.com:prime" } }</script><script type="application/ld+json"> { "@context": "https://schema.org/", "@type" : "WebPage", "name" : "After defeat, Uddhav Thackeray's demands fresh polls through paper ballots", "speakable" : { "@type": "SpeakableSpecification", "cssSelector" : [".article_wrap h1", ".artSyn h2"] }, "url": "https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/after-defeat-uddhav-thackerays-demands-fresh-polls-through-paper-ballots/articleshow/115647612.cms" } </script><script type="text/javascript"> //set iframe height on load (function(){ $('#toispecials-iframe').height($(window).height()); })(); /* function scrollIframeToTop() { setTimeout(function() { $('body, html').animate({ scrollTop: $menuEl.offset().top }, 800); }, 500); } scrollIframeToTop(); */ </script><script> var countryCode = window.geoinfo && geoinfo.CountryCode; if (countryCode === "IN"){ $('.inSideInd').addClass("show"); $('.outsideInd').remove(); } else{ $('.outsideInd').addClass("show"); $('.inSideInd').remove(); } window.onload = function() { // setFont(); }; </script><div class="blocker_wrap hidden"><section class="font_mon login_blocker hidden"><div class="lb_head tac">Continue reading with one of these options:</div><div class="lb_box_cont"><div class="lb_box"><div class="lb_boxb"><div class="lb_boxh">Limited Access</div><div class="lb_boxt">Free</div><div class="lb_boxd">Login to get access to some exclusive stories<br> & personalised newsletters</div><div onclick="objPrimePaywall.cta('login')" class="lb_boxbtn">Login Now</div></div></div><div class="lb_box"><div class="lb_boxb"><div class="lb_boxh">Unlimited Access</div><div class="lb_boxt lb_pr">Starting @ Rs120/month</div><div class="lb_boxd">Get access to exclusive stories, expert opinions &<br> in-depth stock reports</div><div onclick="objPrimePaywall.cta('plan')" class="lb_boxbtn">Subscribe Now</div></div></div></div></section><div class="loader_box"><div class="spinner"><div class="loading-text">ET</div></div></div><section class="font_mon prime_paywall"><style> .articleBlockerWrap {width: 650px;background: #ffe9e2;height: 251px;display: none;margin: 2% auto 2%;box-shadow: 0 12px 20px 0 rgb(0 0 0 / 13%);} .articleBlocker {background: #ffe9e2;border: 7px solid white;padding: 28px 22px;width: 567px;margin: auto;text-align: left;position: relative;min-height: 149px;} .articleBlocker h4 {font-size: 24px;font-weight: bold;line-height: 1.27;} .articleBlocker p {font-size: 16px;margin: 15px 0;} .articleBlocker button {background: #ed193b;color: white;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 800;margin: auto;width: 215px;height: 37px;border-radius: 2px;position: absolute;animation: .18s linear infinite alternate slide;} @keyframes slide {from {left: 15px;}to {left: 30px;;}} .articleBlocker button:hover {animation-play-state: paused;cursor: pointer;} .articleBlocker img {position: absolute;right: 22px;height: 120px;bottom: 0;} </style><div data-paywall="true" data-grx-impression="Subscription Flow ET Articleshow Blocker#Scroll Blocker Impression#Blocker layer Viewed" class="articleBlockerWrap"><div class="articleBlocker"><h4>Uh-oh!
