S Chockalingam has said the seven per cent increase in voter turnout in the last hour of polling for the state assembly elections was not a surge, as claimed by the opposition, but an «average» process. In a video statement on Monday, Chockaligam said Maharashtra is a large state with more than one lakh polling booths.
«If 76 lakh voters turn up in the last hour of polling, it is only (an average of) 76 voters in each of the polling centres,» he added.
The assembly elections in Maharashtra and Jharkhand were held last month.
While the BJP-led Mahayuti won 230 of the 288 seats in Maharashtra, the JMM-led alliance bagged 56 seats in the 81-member Jharkhand assembly.
''Unlike Jharkhand, Maharashtra votes more in the later half of the day. Whereas in Jharkhand, most of the voting takes place in the first half," Chockalingam said.
