I will always remember Dr. Priya Ranjan not only as the Chairman of JK Monitor, but as a mentor, guide and elder brother whose kindness shaped my life and work. Write a tribute at JAMMU: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Executive Member Raman Suri has strongly criticized the Congress party for perpetuating a false narrative against Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). Suri emphasized that India’s electoral system, under the guidance of the Election Commission of India (ECI), is a global benchmark for conducting free, fair, and transparent elections. He urged the Congress to introspect on its repeated electoral failures instead of venting frustration on EVMs or blaming the government.
Highlighting the advancements made by India in electoral technology, Suri remarked, “The use of EVMs has eliminated the inefficiencies and vulnerabilities of paper ballot systems, ensuring quicker, cleaner, and more accurate election processes. Our nation is far ahead of many democracies in this regard, where archaic systems like ballot papers still lead to controversies and delays.” He further stated that EVMs have withstood rigorous scrutiny and legal challenges, proving their reliability time and again.
Suri pointed to the recent statement by Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who dismissed Congress’s objections to EVMs. Abdullah had rightly pointed out the inconsistency in Congress’s stance, saying, “You can’t celebrate victory using EVMs in one election and then cry foul when the results don’t favor you in another.” Echoing this sentiment, Raman Suri added, “The Congress must understand that blaming EVMs is a poor excuse for its own failures. The machines don’t change; it’s the people’s mandate that does. It’s time Congress stops misleading the public and focuses on introspection.”
Taking a strong stand, Raman Suri called on Congress to appreciate the efforts of the Election Commission of India, which has consistently delivered impartial elections across the nation without any bias. “The ECI’s exemplary work has strengthened India’s democracy and earned global recognition. Instead of maligning such an institution, the Congress should be proud of how India has modernized its electoral process,” he asserted.
Raman Suri advised Congress to engage in constructive politics and respect the democratic verdict of the people. “The failure lies within Congress, not in the EVMs. With leaders like Omar Abdullah pointing out its double standards, Congress should cease its baseless allegations and channel its energy toward rebuilding its political credibility,” he said.
