Will prove how EVMs can be tampered, says AAP ahead of all-party meet

NEW DELHI: A day before the all-party meeting called by the Election Commission, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Thursday threw a fresh challenge before the poll panel and said that given a chance it could prove how voting machines used in the assembly polls were pre-programmed to favour a particular party. AAP lawmaker Saurabh Bharadwaj urged the Election Commission to form a panel of representatives of all political parties and experts from the poll panel to examine Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). “We will demonstrate and prove before the panel how EVMs can be tampered with the help of its ROM (read only memory),” Bharadwaj told the media. He said the AAP would urge the Election Commission in an all-party meeting on Friday to form the panel.–IANS
