### ysr Congress: Denial and the EVM Controversy

The congress PARTY' target='_blank' title='ysr congress-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>ysr congress party (YCP) appears to be struggling with the aftermath of this year’s electoral results, with senior leaders expressing their views that seem more rooted in denial than in acceptance of reality. jagan Mohan Reddy, the chief minister and party leader, has suggested that the recent electoral defeat was influenced by tampering of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), advocating for a return to paper ballots. This sentiment has been echoed by other party leaders, including former mla Rachamallu Sivaprasad Reddy, who claims that if elections were held today, ycp would secure between 130 to 140 seats.

Rachamallu’s assertions reveal a broader narrative within the party, one that frames their electoral struggles not as a reflection of public sentiment but as the result of alleged conspiracies. He stated, “There are vested interests behind the EVMs. In Andhra Pradesh, the electoral mandate is not given by the public. The results were managed and fabricated by political forces.” This rhetoric not only attempts to shift blame away from the party’s performance but also fosters a perception of victimhood, portraying ycp as fallen soldiers in a battle against an unjust electoral system.

Critics have been quick to point out the hypocrisy of these claims, noting that congress PARTY' target='_blank' title='ysr congress-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>ysr congress secured a resounding victory in 2019—winning 151 seats—through the same EVMs they now disparage. This contradiction raises questions about the party’s credibility and its ability to confront electoral challenges head-on. Instead of acknowledging potential shortcomings in governance or voter sentiment, ycp appears to be retreating into a narrative that suggests they were wronged rather than defeated.

By continuously attacking the validity of EVMs, congress PARTY' target='_blank' title='ysr congress-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>ysr congress risks alienating voters who expect their leaders to take responsibility for their actions and to learn from electoral setbacks. The party’s fixation on the idea of a manipulated electoral process may ultimately damage their reputation, casting them as sore losers rather than a responsible political entity willing to engage with the electorate’s concerns.

In this context, YCP's insistence on claiming that they would easily win a majority if elections were conducted differently could be seen as a desperate attempt to salvage their image. However, the reality remains that the party must grapple with the public's mandate rather than attributing defeat to external factors. As the political landscape continues to evolve in Andhra Pradesh, the congress PARTY' target='_blank' title='ysr congress-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>ysr congress party will need to reevaluate its approach if it hopes to regain the trust and support of the electorate.
