Smarting from the crushing loss in Maharashtra, months after the Haryana debacle, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge today protested against the use of voting machines or EVMs and suggested a return to ballot paper.
“We don’t want EVMs, we want ballot paper,” the 82-year-old Congress chief was quoted saying by news agency PTI.
The demand comes on the same day the Supreme Court dismissed a petition seeking to go back to ballot paper voting in elections in the country.
Mr Kharge also called for a campaign on the scale of Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra for return to the ballot paper.
