Solapur: So, here’s the scoop. Uttamrao Jankar, the MLA from Malshiras, is making some noise about Electronic Voting Machines, or EVMs. He’s set to meet the Chief Election Commissioner on January 23.

Jankar’s got some serious concerns. He’s even warned that he might resign if things don’t go his way. Villagers from Markadwadi and Dhanore are backing him, wanting to switch back to good old ballot papers for voting.

During his meeting, he plans to bring affidavits from these villagers. They’re all about wanting a choice between ballot papers and EVMs. Jankar’s not just talking; he’s ready to protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi if he doesn’t get a response.

He told Hindustan Times that voters should have options. If the Election Commission doesn’t listen, he’s ready to walk away. Plus, he’s got his eyes on the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections, hoping to stir up the conversation about EVMs and how transparent voting should be.
