Hey there, Pune! Looks like the aftermath of the Maharashtra assembly elections is still unfolding, as eleven candidates have taken a bold step to ensure transparency in the electoral process.
Yugendra Pawar from Baramati, Prashant Jagtap from Hadapsar, and Ramesh Bagwe from Pune Cantonment are among those who have filed applications for the verification of microcontrollers in the EVMs used in their constituencies. It seems like these candidates are not taking the election results at face value and are determined to get to the bottom of any discrepancies.
According to the rules laid down by the Supreme Court, candidates who finish in the second or third place in an election can request verification of up to 5% of the EVMs in their constituency. And these candidates have wasted no time in doing so, collectively paying a hefty sum of Rs 66.64 lakh for the verification process.
The verification process will involve a mock poll conducted in the presence of the candidates, engineers from the EVM manufacturing firms, and election officials. This thorough procedure is aimed at addressing any concerns raised by the candidates regarding the election results and ensuring that the electoral process remains transparent.
It’s interesting to note that Prashant Jagtap has requested the highest number of verifications, followed closely by Rahul Kalate and Sanjay Jagtap. These candidates seem determined to get to the bottom of any discrepancies in the election results and ensure that the voice of the people is accurately represented.
Overall, it’s great to see candidates taking proactive steps to uphold transparency and ensure that the electoral process remains fair and free from any irregularities. Let’s hope that the verification process sheds light on any discrepancies and helps restore faith in the democratic process. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story!
