The Election Commission (EC) on Saturday said that its open challenge to prove manipulation of EVMs will be held from June 3. All political parties can participate in it. Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Nasim Zaidi announced the schedule, venue and rules of the EVM challenge at a press conference. The officials of the Election Commission reiterated that at any given time, there were fool-proof provisions that make any unauthorised access to the vote machines impossible. Zaidi added that the “sophisticated technological features, one-time programmable chips, dynamic key codes, date and time stamping and advanced tracking technology” further ensure that the EVMs or their components cannot be physically tampered with.
Faced with massive charges of corruption, the Aam Aadmi Party on Tuesday demonstrated how a prototype of the EVM can be tampered with. The party fielded engineer-turned-politician Saurabh Bhardwaj in the Delhi Legislative Assembly, to impart lessons on how to hack an EVM to all legislators.
Following massive corruption charges against Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, the Aam Aadmi Party cherry picked the topic of EVM Tampering, instead of responding to the graft charges in Delhi Assembly.
A crushing defeat for Aam Admi Party (AAP) in the Delhi Municipal Municipal Polls 2017 has raised many question on the senior leadership of party, particularly, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. While many senior leaders of AAP like Ashutosh are defending Kejriwal, former AAP member and founding member of Swaraj Abhiyan Yogendra Yadav demanded the resignation of Kejriwal from the post of Delhi Chief Minister. Both the leaders spoke exclusively to The Quint and gave their views on how they analyse the results of MCD polls.
On the ocassion of holi, politicians from across the spectrum replaced mud with political colours. Taking a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s iconic speech on Sunday, RJD Chief Lalu Prasad said that the PM’s words are just limited to his speeches. Reacting to BJP Chief Mayawati’s allegation that Electronic Voting Machines were tampered with, Lalu demanded that a probe be launched into the matter. His views were echoed by Akhilesh Yadav, who too seemed to throw his weight behind Behenji’s claims.
Expressing shock over the fact that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) got votes from areas she called ‘Muslim mohallas’, Bhaujan Samajwadi Party (BSP) supremo and former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati alleged that the electronic voting machines were rigged.
