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.
