“Anytime Congress and the Mahagathbandan raise questions about EVM, it is a good sign that they have accepted defeat. They never questioned the EVM when they formed the government and never discussed it in the Vidhan Sabha. This is a good sign for the BJP-LJP as the opposition has accepted defeat and is now looking for an apology, ”he told ANI.
