Congress accuses TRS of EVM tampering Hyderabad, Feb 7 (INN): Having suffered a humiliating defeat, the Congress party on Sunday accused the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi of tampering with the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) in the GHMC elections.
Addressing a press conference at Gandhi Bhavan here, TPCC Chief Spokesperson M. Shravan Kumar and ex-Mayor Banda Karthika Reddy alleged that there were sufficient reasons to suspect that the EVMs used during GHMC polls were tampered. They said that the EVMs were not enabled to get connected to a printer while all other EVMs, used in other parts of the country, have that facility. They said all EVMs used in Bihar and Delhi elections were connected to a printer. They alleged that the ruling party tampered the EVMs to turn the results in its favour.
The Congress leaders also accused the TRS of indulging in large-scale irregularities. They said a complaint has already been lodged with the Central Election Commission in this regard. They also condemned the non-availability of NOTA (None of the Above) option in the GHMC elections.
