New Delhi: Opposition leaders on Sunday said they will approach the Supreme Court over what they said were malfunctioning and tampering of EVMs.
Addressing the media here, leaders from 21 political parties said the Election Commission had “failed” the country and its people as it did not take these issues seriously.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and Telugu Desam Party chief N. Chandrababu Naidu said the VVPAT was indispensable to bring confidence among people.
“The confidence of voters can only be achieved by the introduction of paper trail. VVPAT ensures the accuracy of voting system,” he said. Nearly 25 lakh votes were deleted in Telangana, which was later admitted to by the EC. (IANS)
