Delhi Congress wants civic polls through ballots, not EVMs


New Delhi, Mar 14 (IANS): Amid allegations that EVMs were tampered with in the just-concluded assembly polls, the Delhi Congress has asked Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to conduct the upcoming civic polls through ballot papers.

"Many are doubting EVMs. Not prejudiced-nor casting aspersions on results. I want Arvind Kejriwal to hold MCD elections through ballot papers," Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken said on Twitter.

After her Bahujan Samaj Party was decimated in the Uttar Pradesh assembly polls, party chief Mayawati alleged the voting machines had been "managed" to favour the Bharatiya Janata Party.

She asked the poll panel to hold the results of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarkahand assembly elections and do re-polling using paper ballots.

The Election Commission subsequently rejected her allegations.

    Use of EVM should be stopped all over India. BJP is pressuring on its use for its own benefit. EVM is adjusted to convert the votes in favor of BJP. Its a shame. EC should take note of this and shuld not close its eyes.
