No Question Of EVM Tampering In Gujarat: EC

Gujarat, December 18: The Congress, the Aam Aadmi Party, and Patidar leader Hardik Patel have expressed apprehension that the EVMs may have been tampered with in Gujarat where the BJP has been in power for 22 years and Prime Minister Narendra Modi had served as the Chief Minister for over a decade.

In this regard, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish has responded that, on Sunday that the electronic voting machines (EVMs) have helped to make elections "transparent and impartial" and those criticising them were doing so out of the fear of defeat.

In this aspect, Chief Election Commissioner AK Joti said there was no question of EVM tampering in the elections.

"I assure that EVMS cannot be tampered with... Questions being raised about EVMs have already been answered by us in the media," Mr Joti said.
