Do the Number Counts Really Tally?

 I was looking at the voting numbers in the recently concluded General Election and I see an anomaly in them.

Let’s break them down for easy deciphering.

Here is the comparison.

In the Presidential Election 2019, GR received 6.9 million votes and SP received 5.5 million votes.

In the General Election 2020, the party that had the GR’s blessing received 6.8 million and the decrease in numbers is so minute, which can be attributed to many valid reasons.

Surprisingly, SP received on 2.7 million votes in the General Election 2020 and the decrease in numbers is enormous. 

It is almost half of what he has received in the Presidential election.

No doubt the turnover for this was much lesser than the Presidential elections.

It was 85 % in the PE and has come down to 75 % in the GE.

Let's say, around 1.4 million less votes in total count due to lesser turnover factor and then this reduction should have to be felt across the board and not only on SP's vote count.

Does anyone want to believe that 2.7  million of former supporters, dissatisfied with him and have abstained from casting their votes? 

Then what is the likely plausible answer to this missing more than 2 million votes.

I am sure your guess is as good as mine known the past track record of the ruling regime.
