BJP legislator Ramchander Rao dismissed Congress accusations about electronic voting machines following recent MLC council polls. Rao told ANI that Congress habitually blames the Election Commission or EVMs when facing defeat, noting that paper ballot elections across several states produced no victories for the party. He said the outcome served as a clear response to those claims.
The remarks come amid heightened debate over electoral integrity after Congress failed to secure any seat in the MLC contests, which were conducted using paper ballots. Rao’s statement underscores the BJP’s strategy of countering opposition narratives about voting technology, framing the poll results as a direct rebuttal to allegations of bias.
