New Delhi:
The Congress Thursday alleged that Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra
Modi's office monitored the tampering of electronic voting
machines (EVMs) in panchayat elections in the state and urged the
Election Commission to order a probe.
"Our Gujarat Congress leaders have caught the machine magic of
Modi. The monitoring was being done from the Chief Minister's
office. The state election commission and the Election Commission
should take cognisance of it and probe the matter," Congress
spokesman Mohan Prakash said here.
Prakash, who released copies of letters written by Gujarat
Congress general secretary Girish Parmar to the State Election
Commission, said that discrepancies in an electronic voting
machine had been noticed during polling for the panchayat
elections in Baroda district.
"People noticed that whatever button they pressed, the vote was
going to the BJP. Fortyfour votes had been cast but when the
machine was brought to zero, it showed 110 votes," Prakash said.
