Digvijay singh says Allow parties to supervise EVM coding software

New Delhi April 17: Digvijaya Singh who is a Senior Congress leader was urged the Election Commission in his twitter handle to allow political parties to supervise the coding software of electronic voting machines (EVMs) here on Sunday

Singh also said that demand comes in the wake of the poll body throwing an open challenge to hack its EVMs following a chorus by Opposition parties on alleged tampering of the machines in the recent state Assembly elections, especially in Uttar Pradesh where BJP staged a stunning victory.

Digvijay further added that the Commission, instead of limiting its objections to EVM hacking, should also allow examination of its software at the stage of writing it from the server.
