Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a swipe at the Congress on Wednesday after the party failed to win a single seat in the Legislative Council elections across 4 states. Highlighting that the polls were conducted using ballot papers, Modi asked how many seats the Congress had won in contests covering 28 constituencies in Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Maharashtra. He shared the remark on X with a monocle emoji, referring to the party’s repeated demands for ballot paper voting amid allegations of irregularities in electronic voting machines. The results dealt a setback to Congress, particularly in Karnataka. (PC: NDTV)
