If Poll Body Doesn't Wake Up...: Congress On EVMs In Assam BJP MLA's Car

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi tweeted in Hindi that the "EC's car has broken down, the BJP's intentions are bad and the condition of democracy has worsened".

The Congress on Friday questioned the Election Commission (EC) after a BJP candidate's vehicle was found transporting a polled EVM in Assam's Karimganj district and said if the poll body does not wake up now and remains "complicit", it will be fatal for democracy. Violence broke out in Karimganj district on Thursday night after a mob spotted a BJP candidate's vehicle being used to transport a polled EVM to the strong room, forcing the police to fire in the air to bring the situation under control. The EC suspended four poll officials and ordered a repolling at the booth as a video went viral on social media. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took a swipe at the Election Commission, tweeting in Hindi that the "EC's car has broken down, the BJP's intentions are bad and the condition of democracy has worsened".
