Opposition leaders have been raising questions on EVM
It is noteworthy that the leaders of the opposition India Alliance have been demanding elections through ballot paper. Opposition leaders allege that BJP ‘hacks’ EVMs. However, the ruling party says that where the opposition wins, the EVM is correct and where the opposition loses, the EVM becomes wrong. The ruling party says that the public has rejected them and that is why they keep cursing EVMs.
