A recent survey in Congress-ruled Karnataka reveals overwhelming public trust in Electronic Voting Machines . Over 83.61% of respondents affirm faith in the machines, directly challenging opposition narratives of “vote chori” pushed by Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party.
Survey Highlights Karnataka Strong Voter Confidence
The report, titled ‘Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Citizens after Lok Sabha 2024 Elections’, comes from the Karnataka Monitoring and Evaluation Authority. It surveys 5,100 voters across divisions and finds 84.55% believe elections occur freely and fairly. Trust peaks in Kalaburagi 94.48% and remains high elsewhere, with Bengaluru showing slightly more neutral views.
Congress ministers like Priyank Kharge clarify the survey links to the Election Commission, not the state government. They question its timing and relevance to later allegations. Meanwhile, BJP aggressively uses the data to counter Rahul Gandhi’s nationwide campaign doubting EVM integrity.
