Telangana Rashtra Samiti on Wednesday found fault with the Congress party for raising suspicion over manipulation of Electronic Voting Machines in the assembly elections held on Friday last and said the party should not behave like "sore losers".
TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao’s son K T Rama Rao was reacting to a statement made by Telangana Congress president Capt N Uttam Kumar Reddy that there was a 'strong' suspicion that the EVMs used in the polls had been manipulated.
The Congress leadership, especially in Telangana, should have the common sense to understand that if the EVMs worked fine in the Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan polls, how they could be blamed in Telangana, he wondered.
"The Congress can continue to blame the EVMs till the next elections and they can continue to do the same after the next elections. Instead of being sore losers, the Congress has to come to terms with the verdict of the people,” KTR said.
He advised that the Congress has to rise above pettiness and electioneering gimmicks.
“Now they have to realise that the people have given them at least the opposition status. So let them at least respect the people's verdict and work towards it," he added.
