Do not criticise EVMs when results not in favour: Omar
Financial Express Delhi|December 16, 2024
OPENING ANOTHER POINT of friction with an important ally, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has dismissed the Congress party's vehement objection to Electronic Voting Machines, and echoed the BJP's defence - you can't accept election results when you win, and blame EVMs when you lose.
- PRESS TRUST OF INDIA

"When you get a hundred plus members of Parliament using the same EVMs, and you celebrate that as sort of a victory for your party, you can't then a few months later turn around and say...we don't like these EVMs because now the election results aren't going the way we would like them to," Abdullah said.

Being told that he sounded suspiciously like a BJP spokesman, Abdullah reacted with "God forbid!" He then added: "No, it's just that...what's right is right."
