Karnataka Govt Fact-Checks Rahul Gandhi on EVMs; BJP Calls it 'Tight Slap'

  • Karnataka Congress govt survey shows high public trust in EVMs and fair elections, contradicting Rahul Gandhi's stance.
  • 84.55% of respondents believe elections are free and fair; 83.61% trust EVMs, an increase from 2023.
  • Survey by Karnataka Monitoring and Evaluation Authority covered 5,100 respondents across 102 constituencies.
  • Rahul Gandhi has led campaigns against EVMs; Karnataka Congress plans ballot papers for local polls due to 'lack of trust'.
  • BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla called the survey a 'tight slap' to Rahul Gandhi's 'propaganda'.

Why It Matters: Karnataka's own Congress government survey contradicts Rahul Gandhi's EVM claims, drawing BJP's sharp criticism.
