After Roshan Baig, Karnataka Congress MLA K Sudhakar has come out in criticism of his party.
Sudhakar questioned the allegations of EVM manipulation, saying why the issue was being raised only after exit polls, reports The New Indian Express. The MLA from Chikkaballapura had tweeted, “Personally I am confused why the issue of EVM manipulation is being brought into conversation while talking about the exit poll results. He added, "In fact the exit poll results indicate the feeling of the voter at the conclusion of polling.”
This MLA’s comment was made just after another senior party lawmaker Roshan Bai had lashed out against the state party leadership, and had called Dinesh Gundu Rao, Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) chief, a “flop show” and the party general secretary a “buffoon”.
He later clarified, “ I have only spoken about exit polls because some people have a difference of opinion on them. I said it had nothing to do with EVM tampering because exit polls are conducted on the polling day."

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
