Chhattisgarh is set to witness the return of ballot papers in its upcoming local body elections. The BJP government has announced that the elections would be conducted using ballot papers instead of electronic voting machines (EVMs).
Addressing the gathering at Samvidhan Rakshak Abhiyaan function , the Congress chief said, “We don’t want elections through EVMs. We want elections through ballot paper.”
