'EVMs fine when you win, tampered when you lose': SC rejects plea for reverting to ballots
Tuesday, 26 November 2024 () The Supreme Court dismissed a plea to switch back to ballot paper voting. The petitioner cited concerns about EVM tampering. The court rejected the argument. The petitioner also suggested regulating money and liquor use in elections. They also wanted a voter education campaign. Congress raised similar concerns after recent election losses. The Election Commission found no evidence of procedural compromise.
The Maharashtra Assembly elections once again spotlighted the opposition’s habit of blaming EVMs when results don’t favor them. In Solapur's Markadwadi village, NCP(SP) supporters, upset over BJP’s Ram Satpute leading locally despite Uttamrao Jankar’s overall win, planned an illegal ballot “re-election.” Authorities rightly shut it down, calling it anti-democratic. Ironically, EVMs—introduced by Congress—are now their scapegoat. Locals dismissed the rhetoric, crediting Satpute’s development work, with one saying, “He earned his votes, no tampering needed.”
