Congress’ own survey in K’taka ‘exposes’ Rahul Gandhi’s ‘vote chori’ narrative: BJP’s Amit Malviya

BENGALURU: Pointing to a survey conducted by a government body and its findings reflecting strong democratic engagement in the electoral process and EVMs in Karnataka, Amit Malviya, in-charge of the BJP’s National Information and Technology Department, said that the Congress’ own survey in the state completely “exposes” Rahul Gandhi’s entire “vote chorus” narrative.

Taking to social media X on Friday, Malviya stated, “This study was commissioned by the Office of the Chief Electoral Officer of Karnataka through the Karnataka Monitoring and Evaluation Authority (KMEA), an independent body under the Planning Department of the Government of Karnataka. It was conducted through a competitive process by KMEA, not by the Election Commission of India.”

“The findings are unequivocal. A total of 84.55 per cent of citizens believe elections in India are conducted freely and fairly. On EVMs, the verdict is even clearer. 83.61 per cent of respondents said EVMs are trustworthy and provide accurate results. Trust in EVMs has increased from 77.9 per cent in 2023 to 83.61 per cent now.
