Sena alleges EVM malfunction in South Mumbai

Sena alleges EVM malfunction in South Mumbai

Prasanna Zore in Mumbai

The Shiv Sena's Rawale has refused to accept defeat even as Milind Deora declared the winner of the South Mumbai.

Rawale alleged that there was a problem with some EVMs and a complaint would be lodged with the Election Commission in this regard after consulting senior leaders of the Shiv Sena including executive president Uddhav Thackeray.

Rawale cited the examples of US and Indonesia where the use of EVMs has been stopped due their inconsistency." I wonder how i got only 5 votes from an area that is a Shiv Sena stronghold," the defeated candidate said.
