The Himachal Pradesh unit of the BJP publicly rebuked the Congress for raising allegations concerning electronic voting machines.
In a recent statement, the Himachal Pradesh branch of the Bharatiya Janata Party condemned the Indian National Congress for publicly questioning the integrity of electronic voting machines (EVMs). The BJP said the allegations were baseless and aimed at creating doubt about the electoral process.
The party accused the Congress of trying to politicise technical aspects of voting to gain a partisan advantage ahead of upcoming polls. It urged the opposition to focus on policy issues rather than unverified claims that could erode public confidence.
No specific evidence was presented by either side, and election officials have not commented on the matter. The exchange adds to the growing political rhetoric surrounding the use of EVMs across several states.
The BJP reiterated its commitment to transparent and secure elections, calling for any genuine concerns to be addressed through proper legal channels.
