Congress’s Bhupesh Baghel alleges mismatch in EVMs, Kharge appeals for discharge of duty
Hours before the counting of votes for the 2024 Lok Sabha election, former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, who is contesting from the Rajnandgaon seat, alleged a mismatch in the details of the electronic voting machines (EVMs) provided in the Election Commission of India’s (EC) Randomisation Report and in Form 17C after polling in his constituency got over.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge wrote an open letter to the country’s bureaucracy and urged it to adhere to the Constitution and serve the nation without “fear, favour and ill-will against anybody”.
In a post on X, Mr. Baghel shared a two-page note showing the differences in the serial number of voting machines mentioned in the Randomisation Report of April 15 and Form 17C of April 26.
