Savio Rodrigues, a BJP politician and the founder of Goa Chronicle, created a new moniker for the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) called "Everyone Voted Modi" and went viral after the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) swept to power in Bihar. The Election Commission had earlier denied accusations made by opposition parties that EVMs were relocated in the days preceding vote counting and that the BJP scored landslide victories through "Vote Chori." Reports of irregularities in the strong rooms where EVMs were kept prior to the election results were also refuted. Speaking to Republic World, Savio Rodrigues claimed that rather than a terrible dynastic dictatorship, the NDA is a government of progress and development, which is why the people of Bihar chose it.
