INDIA bloc divided over EVMs: TMC’s Banerjee questions Congress

Abhishek Banerjee urged the Congress to “show a demo” if they truly believe in the possibility of EVM tampering. Abhishek Banerjee urged the Congress to “show a demo” if they truly believe in the possibility of EVM tampering.

It is my personal opinion that those who are raising questions on the EVMs should demonstrate their discrepancies to the EC. They should show any video as evidence to the EC. The EC even called everyone. I have been conducting elections on the ground for a long time, said Banerjee.

The TMC MP from Diamond Harbour in West Bengal also ruled out claims made by Congress and others that EVMs are unreliable, saying proper procedures during randomization, mock polls, and booth-level checks ensure the system’s integrity.

Suppose some person does a good job of EVM randomization, and the booth workers inspect EVMs during mock polls or counting by looking into form 17C, which is used to check ballot units or control units. In that case, I do not think there is any substance in these allegations of EVM manipulation,” he added.

The Trinamool MP was responding to Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah’s remarks on Congress’s EVM allegations, in which he stated that one should not question the voting machines based on the mere outcomes of the election.
