It means every vote against Mullah. They always blame EVM. They do not understand the meaning of EVM. They are not able to understand in what context Hindus voted in the recent elections.

बीजेपी विधायक नितेश राणे ने विवादित बयान देते हुए कहा कि हम ईवीएम की वजह से चुनाव जीते हैं और हमने इस बात से कभी इनकार नहीं किया है, पर विपक्ष ईवीएम के मीनिंग को समझने में नाकाम रहा. इसका मतलब है एवरी वोट अगेंस्ट मुल्ला. वह हमेशा ईवीएम को दोष देते हैं. वे ईवीएम का मतलब नहीं समझते. उन्हें यह समझ में नहीं आ रहा कि हाल के चुनावों में हिंदुओं ने किस संदर्भ में मतदान किया.
