The BJP mocked the Congress after the party failed to win any of the 28 Legislative Council seats contested in elections across four states, conducted using ballot papers. The results gave BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, an opportunity to challenge Congress allegations of electoral irregularities involving Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). Congress has repeatedly demanded the removal of EVMs and a return to paper ballots, questioning their reliability amid the BJP’s recent electoral victories. The party drew a blank in the latest MLC polls, including four seats in Karnataka, where Congress is in power. The outcome intensified political exchanges over voting methods and electoral credibility. (PC: India Today)
