In another shocking incident of EVMs malfunctioning during the second phase of Gujarat polls, voters on Aravalli could not press Congress button.
Voting had to be stopped at Simlaj village in Bayad, Aravalli after EVM did not allow voters to successfully press Congress button.
This was after several incidents of EVM malfunctioning were reported in Ahmedabad, Mehsana and Patan.
The reports of EVMs acting suspiciously came amidst BJP MP Shatrughan Sinha warning the voters in Gujarat to exercise extra caution while casting their votes.
His tweet said, “To get desired result & most desirable Govt. – come one & come all in maximum strength to make your long awaited dream come true. Be very careful & vigilant. Take care of any hanky panky – electronic machine or otherwise & not get a bad name. Best wishes! Jai Gujarat. Jai Hind!.”
The Election Commission had to replace nearly 900 EVMs in the first phase of Gujarat assembly polls.
The counting for Gujarat elections will take place on 18 December.
