New Delhi: After Congress's allegations of some irregularities in the Haryana assembly elections, Congress was infuriated by the Election Commission's reply letter and also warned of going to court. The commission is looking at Congress's new letter as a victory for itself.

The Commission says that Congress has not said anything about the clarification given by the Election Commission in the new letter. This means that Congress is satisfied with the reply and there is no question on the process now. The Commission has advised the Congress party to change its attitude.

Congress had raised questions on some EVMs

After the results of Haryana, Congress had raised questions on some EVMs. In response to that, the commission had given a long reply and also alleged that the type of questions raised by Congress could have created chaos in the elections. Congress was very angry with this allegation and had also threatened to go to court.

On Saturday, the Commission, citing the letter written by the Congress, said that no new question has been raised after the reply given in the letter regarding the allegations related to the Haryana elections. It is clear from this that the Commission agrees with the basis on which it has completely rejected their allegations.
