Faizabad (UP): No allegations of tampering have been made but the opposition’s suspicions about “malfunctioning EVMs” are likely to be strengthened by the civic poll results here, with the ruling Bhartiya Janata Party winning the Ayodhya Municipal Corporation seat conducted through EVM machines while suffering heavy losses in rural and semi urban seats where elections were conducted via ballot papers.

The Wire analysed the election results of seven districts adjoining Ayodhya, where most BJP candidates lost the local elections, results for which were declared on Friday.

Out of 33 municipal board seats in rural and semi-urban areas of Faizabad, Ambedkar Nagar, Basti, Gonda, Balrampur, Bahraich and Sultanpur districts of eastern Uttar Pradesh, the BJP won only 6 seats.

However, the Samajwadi Party managed to win 12 seats, the BSP 5 seats, the Congress 3 seats while independents won 7 seats...

No doubt, these results reflect local political dynamics but the fact that the opposition managed to hold its own against the BJP with paper ballots may well rekindle the debate on the merits and demerits of EVMs.
