EVMs Gain Acceptance in Mumbai BMC Elections 2026
In the BMC Elections 2026, something unusual happened.
The Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), which have often been blamed for election results not going a party's way, were not blamed at all this time.
The Sena (UBT) and MNS did well in areas like Dadar and Worli, while the Mahayuti won overall in Mumbai and Pune.
No one accused the EVMs of being tampered with, which is a big change.
Usually, parties blame EVMs when they lose, but this time, everyone accepted the results.
It's a good moment for the EVMs, which have often been unfairly criticized.
