Addressing the media after the MCD election results, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said that it was hard for him to believe that the BJP has won. “It is hard to believe that the party that littered Delhi has won the MCD polls,” Sisodia said. Alleging EVM tampering yet again, Sisodia said, “BJP leaders had written books on EVM tampering ,now same leaders saying EVMs are fine.” Sisodia also took to Twitter, raising questions on EVMs. He added that the party doesn’t care even if it is made fun of for questioning EVMs.
