Joshi’s final tally was 62,215 votes against Chauhan’s 62,216. He then requested a re-tabulation of the totals of each EVM as totalling is done manually. The result was the same. As a mature and sagacious politician, he lost no time in congratulating the Election Commission for a fair election. Yet, the irony is, as reported, that two members of his family did not turn up to vote on the polling day! Since he was the party president in the state, had he won, he would probably have become the Chief Minister.
