In the survey, 91% believed the election to be fair, a big blow to Rahul Gandhi’s vote theft campaign.

The BJP on Friday attacked Rahul Gandhi over his allegations of ‘vote theft’, citing a survey conducted by the Congress-led Karnataka government. The Karnataka government on Thursday released the results of a survey on the Lok Sabha elections 2024, which showed that a majority of voters trust electronic voting machines (EVMs) and believe that the elections are ‘free and fair’. A survey by a Karnataka government agency has claimed that 91% of the people of the state believe that elections in India are conducted in a free and fair manner and EVMs give accurate results.

‘EVM is most reliable in a democratic system’

BJP leader Suresh Kumar said, “This survey conducted in Karnataka is enough to show that EVM is the most reliable and effective medium in the democratic system. This survey has exposed the hollow claims of Rahul Gandhi.
