Assam BJP Denies Any Involvement In EVM Controversy As EC Calls Re-Poll

Reacting to the EVM row in Assam, State BJP in-charge Baijayant Jai Panda has denied his party’s involvement. Blaming Congress for framing false allegations under "fear of defeat”, Panda said the Election Commission has conducted enquiries which concluded that the vehicle containing EVMs merely offered help as the commission’s vehicle broke down. He added the re-poll announced by the EC in Patharkandi constituency owes to breach of protocol and not the BJP's involvement.
