| DF&SS flays opposition parties for raising issues over EVMs | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, May 22: The workers of Dogra Front & Shiv Sena under the leadership of President Ashok Gupta took out a protest in Jammu city against reckless and obnoxious behavior & claims of opposition for blaming the EVMs, Election commission upon the mere show of Exit Polls.
They alleged that the way the opposition parties are going against the Election Commission (EC) and the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), it would suggest that they take the exit polls results more seriously than the NDA led by the BJP. Aside from the commonsense logic, the EVM bashing has been going on for long. Rahul Gandhi's backers say that he did point that he had reservations with the EVMs even when the Congress won in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan December last. Also, the allegations are a little muddled. At one level, the charge is the EVMs have been hacked through a pre-set programme that allows votes to be cast to only one candidate (the vote goes only to the BJP in this case). At another, there is also the allegation that the EVMs used in the polls are being replaced with pre-loaded new ones. Well, again the EC has clearly clarified that the existing EVMs are under watch round the clock and all candidates can have their own people to stand vigil (and they do in many places). The EVMs also carry specific numbers that the candidates can cross-verify. |
