Bengaluru, Nov 12: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), which had earlier accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of tampering Electronic Voting Machines in Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, has now demanded that Election Commission of India use ballot papers in 2018 Karnataka Assembly polls.

Addressing a media conference in Kalaburgi recently, Marasandra Muniyappa, State Coordinator of the party, said that “EVM tampering” by BJP was the only reason for his party’s defeat in Uttar Pradesh. “The BJP is capable of doing the same in Karnataka too,” he said.

He said: “Nowhere in the world, except in India, are EVMs used in elections, as there is a possibility of tampering with them. It is ‘EVM tampering’ alone that led to our defeat in Uttar Pradesh. Tampering with was not done in Punjab, Goa, Manipur and Uttarakhand that went to the polls, with Uttar Pradesh. It was done only in Uttar Pradesh as it had become an issue of prestige for the BJP to record a victory there,” he said. He added that his party approached the court as it had sufficient evidence to establish ‘EVM tampering’, he said.

Mr. Muniyappa exuded the confidence of winning at least 25 seats in the upcoming Assembly election in Karnataka. “We were in second or third places in five constituencies in the last election. We have built our party structure at grass-roots level and expanded our mass base in many constituencies,” he said.

For a clear mandate and to stop  politicans bribe and criminal activity  voting to be conducted by Ballot Paper syestem in Karnataka State. What ever happend in UP;Goa; Punjab is not the matter and no need to compare with Karnataka state election. Both leading party at Karnataka may play their money power and here highy possibility is from bjp.

Hence to keep value on our franchise all need to prefer Ballot system and boycot EVM. Not need to trust with even election commission. Any how they are looting and misused tax payers money. Spend more money if election cmmison reuqire to engage more man poser for counting. FInal result will  come  with respect to citizens opinion with fare and clear.

Dhikkar to Corruption

Long Live India

Mangaluru, Feb 2: A local court on Saturday remanded Aditya Rao,the suspect in the Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) bomb case, to two weeks judicial custody.

Rao was produced before the Sixth Judicial First Class Magistrate Court after the 10-day police custody expired.

Rao has been in police custody since January 22 after he surrendered before the police in Bengaluru on January 21 and was later brought here.

He had allegedly planted an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) at the airport on January 20 triggering panic and later made a hoax call to the airport terminal that a bomb had been planted in an IndiGo flight.

During the last ten days, police took the accused to several places in the city and Udupi where he had frequented in the recent past.

He was also taken to the room where he stayed while he was working at a hotel in the city.
