Look, I think that after an election, whoever loses should accept defeat.

Anyone, whoever it is. If you think so, my view is different.

If you feel that there is fraud happening in the electoral process,

that the Election Commission is not holding a fair election, then boycott it.

Look, after elections are held, we saw this in Maharashtra too,

the election happens,

the BJP wins, Rahul Gandhi says,“ The votes were stolen.” Elections are

held in Bengal,

after the election they say that the Election Commission was not impartial…

was not impartial,

this election was not free and fair… it was not, I will not accept this defeat.

If you already feel, because this has now become a narrative beforehand,

that votes are being stolen,

that the Election Commission is not impartial,

then you will have to take some step before the election, not after the election.

Once the election results, you have remained a participant in that election,

Your 80 people have won. Are you telling us that those 80 people who won,

their election was fair, and the 200… 207 who won from the BJP,

there was rigging there?

This… the public will not be able to digest this.
