I have doubts on EVMs: Moideen Bava
Mangaluru, May 15: Mangaluru North Constituency defeated candidate from Congress Moideen Bava said that when voting was observed, as expected the Congress should have got the votes in some polling booths. But during the counting of votes, the result disappointed the Congress, he said.
Keeping in mind the new voters and the votes polled in favour of him during last election, the present result would justify the suspicion on the EVMs. He has filed his objection before the Returning Officer saying that he has suspected the misuse of EVMs. He would lodged a detailed complaint to the Returning Officer on Wednesday, he added.

Pakistan reports two more polio cases; Total tally now 52
ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.
“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.
The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.
Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.
There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
