Congress candidate from Mangaluru North constituency Moideen Bawa has raised suspicions of EVM malfunctioning and has said that he would take up the matter with the Election Commission.
Bawa who is trailing to BJP’s Dr Bharath Shetty by over 28,900 votes, while speaking to media persons said, “I have been working for the development of this constituency for last five years. It is suprising that BJP candidate Dr Bharat, whose name had been announced only some time back has gained such a huge margin. I suspect EVM malfunction and will raise the matter with the Election Commission.”
Meanwhile, Congress leaders JR Lobo of Mangaluru South and Ramanath Rai of Bantwal constituency too were seen leaving the venue early in light of the impeding defeat.
