EVMs Weren't Tampered in Karnataka: Siddaramaiah

Congress member and Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah said the EVMs in the two constituencies in the state were not tampered with. Congress retained both Nanjangud and Gundlupet seats in Karnataka.

The electoral outcome comes as a boost to CM Siddaramaiah who is facing murmurs of dissonance within his party over his style of functioning, particularly from the old guard, exemplified by the recent exit of senior leader S M Krishna, a former Chief Minister.

Siddaramaiah had devoted the last eight days for the campaign crisscrossing both the constituencies and mobilised his ministers on a large scale, as the BJP went all out to make inroads into the Congress' stronghold.

It had also turned into a personal battle between Siddaramaiah and State BJP President and former Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa, who had camped in the two constituencies for more than three weeks.

During the campaign, the two leaders made no-holdsbarred personal attacks.
