Congress reported 20 seats to EC over EVMs showing 99% battery: Pawan Khera

Congress leader Pawan Khera on Saturday said that the party has sent to the Election Commission of India a list of 20 seats in which candidates have submitted written and verbal compaints over Electronic Voting Machines during counting of votes in the recenlty held Haryana Assembly elections.

- 

We have sent a list of 20 seats to the Election Commission regarding which our candidates have submitted written and verbal complaints of 99 per cent battery charge.

This issue was raised on the day of counting...This is a strange coincidence that the machines which displayed 99 per cent battery charge were the ones on which Congress was mostly made to lose.

The machines with 60-70 per cent battery charge are the ones on which Congress won. Why did this happen? Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Friday submitted a memorandum to ECI, and said he hopes that the body takes cognizance of the issue and give appropriate instructions.
