In its political resolution moved at the party's 84th Plenary Session, the Congresscalled for reverting to the old practice of paper ballot as adopted by other major democracies to help restore the credibility of the electoral process. This, it said, was necessary as there were misgivings on "misuse" of EVMs to "manipulate the outcome contrary to popular verdict". It also said that the BJP's move of simultaneous elections is "misplaced" and is "incompatible with the Constitution as also impractical".
Congress resolved to adopt a "pragmatic approach" for cooperation with all like-minded parties and evolve a common workable programme to defeat the BJP and its allies in the 2019 general election.
