Congress leader Digvijaya Singh has filed a petition in the Madhya Pradesh High Court, contesting the election of BJP’s Rodmal Nagar, who defeated him in the Rajgarh Lok Sabha constituency.
The senior Congress leader claimed that there was manipulation of electronic voting machines (EVMs). In the 2024 general elections, Nagar defeated the Congress veteran by more than 1.45 lakh votes.
Sanjay Agarwal, Singh’s lawyer, stated that the petition alleges violations of the Constitution of India and the Representation of the People Act, seeking the cancellation of Nagar’s election. The petition also criticized the Election Commission of India (ECI) for failing to adhere to the Supreme Court’s directives on checking and verifying EVMs.
Singh told reporters that the ECI and the government have not addressed the distrust surrounding EVMs and have not implemented the Supreme Court’s decision from April 26. He emphasized that the petition is being filed on technical grounds to ensure that votes are correctly counted and that elections are conducted freely and fairly.
