A number of leaders today said that they were against the use of electronic voting machines (EVMs) in the coming Lok Sabha elections. National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah called the EVM a “chor (thief) machine”. “Nowhere in the world are EVMs used,” he said.
Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu too mentioned this issue at the United India Rally. “EVM is a fraud. I want to say this that paper ballots should be used,” he said.
The leaders insisted that the matter should be taken up with the Election Commission of India (EC). The leaders have in the past too, raised this issue several times with the EC.
