The former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has hinted that there might have been irregularities with the EVMs in the recently concluded elections. 

The YSR Congress chief called for reintroduction of paper ballots for a fair and square election campaign in the country and here is what he had to say about the same. 

"Just as justice should not only be served, but should also appear to have been served, so should democracy not only prevail but must appear to be prevalent undoubtedly. 

In electoral practices across the world in almost every advanced democracy, paper ballots are used, not EVMs. We too must move towards the same in upholding the true spirit of our democracy." Jagan tweeted a little while ago. 

Jagan is evidently rattled by the electoral mandate that was delivered this year as his YSR Congress went from having 151 MLAs to just 11 MLAs in the assembly.
