INDIA bloc divided over EVMs? After Omar, TMC's Abhishek Banerjee questions Congress

Hindustan Times  

Amidst Congress’s ongoing allegations regarding the veracity of Electronic Voting Machines, Trinamool Congress general secretary Abhishek Banerjee on Monday reacted sharply against its ally and urged the grand old party to "show a demo" if they truly believe in the possibility of EVM tampering. The TMC MP from West Bengal's Diamond Harbour also dismissed claims made by Congress and others questioning the reliability of EVMs, suggesting that proper procedures during randomisation, mock polls, and booth-level checks ensure the system’s integrity. NC's Omar Abdullah on EVMs In an interview with news agency PTI, the National Conference leader dismissed the objections to EVMs, saying it cannot be that the Congress celebrates its win in polls held through the machines and then raises questions on their reliability when it loses. While NC, TMC and Congress are allies, Banerjee’s remarks underline a growing divergence within the opposition INDIA bloc on the issue of EVMs.
