With the extreme excitement among the Congress supporters in U.P., Congress can hope to win at least 50 of the 80 Lok Sabha seats in the state – only if the elections are held on traditional ballot papers instead of electronic voting machines (EVMs) which can be manipulated to change the results of elections.
