Our Mahayuti government has done so much work in 2.5 years, implemented so many schemes, the result of which is this. The opposition should now stop crying about EVMs.
'You don't raise questions where you win'

Presented figures
Quoting the figures, deputy cm Eknath Shinde said, "In the Lok Sabha, Mahayuti got 43.55% votes and maha Vikas Aghadi got 43.71% votes, there is a difference of just a few points, but we got 17 seats and they got 31 seats. Then why did they not raise the issue of EVM scam? Yesterday they (MVA MLAs) did not take oath citing EVM scam, but today they took oath, so is the EVM scam over from today?"
