Assam EVM row | 'Truth revealed in EC enquiry, BJP not involved': Baijayant Panda

BJP leader Baijayant Jay Panda spoke on the EMV controversy in poll-bound Assam.

He said that the truth on the incident involving an EVM in Karimganj had been revealed in the enquiry by the Election Commission.

โ€œThere is absolutely no involvement of BJP and any political motive,โ€ Panda said.

He claimed that an official vehicle broke down, so they were offered help by another vehicle.

A video surfaced on social media purportedly showing EVM in a BJP candidateโ€™s car.

The incident took place following the second phase of polling in Assam on April 1.

Election Commission has suspended four officials including the presiding officer in the matter.
