Delhi election results: Congress leader Digvijay Singh raises EVM issue
Feb 11, 2020 12:57 AM

Congress leader Digvijay Singh has raised the EVM issue as vote counting began in Delhi. Early trends showed AAP leading, BJP in second spot with Congress a distant third.

The former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh said that EVMs are not tamper-proof and no developed country uses them.

Singh tweeted: "No Machine which has a Chip is Tamper-Proof. Also please do for a moment think, why no Developed Country uses EVM?

He has urged the Supreme Court and the Election Commission to look into the issue of EVM.

"Would CEC and Honourable Supreme Court please have a fresh look on EVM voting in India? We are the largest Democracy in the World, we can't allow some Unscrupulous People to Hack Results and steal the Mandate of 1.3 Billion People."

Digvijay Singh has emphasised that postal ballots should also be counted "If they match the Votes in the Counting Unit. Declare the result. If they don't match then count the Ballots of all Polling Booths in the Assembly. It would convince everyone and save time also as this has been the consistent argument of CEC in favour of EVM".

The Congress which ruled the state for 15 years under Shiela Dikshit has been struggling to open an account in Delhi.
