In Gujarat, BJP is leading in 100 seats and Congress is ahead in 80 seats. Former Chief Election Commissioner T S Krishnamurthy said today that electronic voting machines (EVMs) are the “real winner” in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh elections and their “bashing” should stop now.
When asked over the remarks in some quarters that the EVMs are the “real winner”, as results of the two Assembly elections are being declared, he said, “I agree.” “They (EVMs) have done their job well. After all, the Congress has increased its position (in Gujarat compared to the last elections). Some leaders of the BJP have been defeated. EVMs have served the purpose”, Krishnamurthy told PTI. Undoubtedly, a major victory. The kind of work which Party workers have done right from booth workers level till PM’s level, everybody put their best foot forward and both #Gujarat & #HimachalPradesh have recognised the good work going on in the name of development, says Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.
