Ambala (Haryana) [India], November 21 : Haryana Minister and BJP leader Anil Vij on Thursday excuded confidence that the BJP-led government will be formed in both Maharashtra as well as in Jharkhand.
"BJP is going to form the government in Maharashtra as well as Jharkhand. BJP will win in both places," he said.
Vij further slammed the Congress party's allegation of EVM being hacked following the exit polls projection, stating that the "Congress has a university of lies," and asked, "what about the EVMs from the place they have won?"
"Congress has a university of lies, where there is a syllabus that when they lose, they cry about the EVM. They are just completing the syllabus. Now when they lose from a place, they say the EVM was hacked, but what about the EVMs from the place they have won? If they want to say all these things, then create an example by resigning from the seats they have won, saying that the EVMs were hacked," he added.
On Wednesday, the state of Maharashtra went to the polls in their 288 assembly seats in a single phase, along with Jharkhand for the second phase of polls.
