Gulte Telugu news
YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s YCP saw a huge downfall from 151 MLAs to 11 MLAs in the recently concluded election. Ever since, the YCP ecosystem, has been pointing fingers at the EVMs.
Today, Jagan Mohan Reddy himself directly tweeted against the usage of EVMs.
In his argument to push the narrative that India must follow suit of advanced countries and start using paper ballots instead of EVMs Jagan made a firm point.
Jagan tweeted ‘In electoral practices across the world in almost every advanced democracy, paper ballots are used, not EVMs. We too must move towards the same in upholding the true spirit of our democracy’.
Though YCP is carrying the narrative portrayed through this tweet, this agenda has backfired on the social media space.
The majority of the comments under Jagan’s tweet are saying the ex CM is unable to process the unanimously negative public mandate that has been delivered against him.
They are pointing out that the very same Jagan celebrated when YCP won 151 seats through the very same EVMs but he is unable to come to terms with his party losing badly this year. A person commented “Jagan should’ve raised this question in 2019 if he really had doubts on EVM, not when he lost the public mandate in 2024.”
For now, Jagan’s tweet on EVMs is getting a polar response on social media. YCP groups are carrying forward the narrative set by Jagan while others are completely disregarding it and terming it as poor electoral spirit shown by Jagan.
