Bollywood actress Swara Bhasker’s husband Fahad Ahmad contested in the Maharashtra Elections 2024 from Anushakti Nagar as a candidate of Sharad Pawar-led NCP faction. However, he lost to Ajit Pawar’s NCP nominee Sana Malik. Swara took to X to express her disappointment and questioned the Election Commission about the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), blaming them for Fahad’s loss.
Swara reacts
“In #AnushaktiNagar vidhaan sabha after a steady lead by @FahadZirarAhmad of NCP-SP.. round 17, 18, 19 suddenly 99% battery charger EVMs are opened and BJP supported NCP-Ajit Pawar candidate takes lead. How can machines that have been voted on ALL day long have 99% charged batteries? Why do all 99% charged batteries give votes to BJP and its allies?” Swara questioned.
Fahad Ahmad also raised similar concerns in a video shared on X. “After round 16 and a steady lead in all rounds.. EVM machines that were 99% charged were opened and BJP supported NCP Ajit Pawar candidate took a lead @ECISVEEP @SpokespersonECI this is rank manipulation. We demand a recount of rounds 16, 17, 18 and 19,” he said.
Swara reposted the video and thanked all those who supported Fahad during his election campaign. She extended her gratitude to political leader Sanjay Raut, saying, “Thank you for your guidance and support to @FahadZirarAhmad’s campaign.. dear @rautsanjay61 sir. We are ever grateful!”.
More about Swara
Sometime back, Swara Bhasker, who is known for calling out trolls who drag her into controversies or comment on her personal life and choices, took to Twitter to address the trolling she received for her choice of clothes after marriage to politician Fahad Ahmad.
Swara shared a meme on herself that depicted a picture of her and husband Fahad with Maulana Sajjad Nomani. In the picture, Swara was dressed in a simple salwar-kurta with her head covered with the dupatta. The picture was juxtaposed with a glam shot of Swara from her acting days, along with the caption before-after, implying that the actor had turned ‘conservative’ after her marriage to the politician.
The actor wrote alongside, “I didn’t realise my wardrobe choices post marriage are a national cyber debate (bizarre!).. Here are more pics of me post marriage to give Sanghi vermin more fodder for their dung.”
