After losing Maharashtra elections, Aazad Samaj Party-Kanshi Ram leader and actor Ajaz Khan said, "EVM ka khel hai sab (It's all a game of EVM)." He added, "Those who've been in politics for years, with big parties and big names, are losing or getting very less votes." Notably, Khan, who has 5.6 million Instagram followers, won 155 votes in polls.
