The Uttarakhand High Court on Thursday ordered authorities to take one of the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) used in the recent Assembly elections in the state in judicial custody.
The AAP stuck to its stand on Wednesday, alleging that “faulty EVMs” had to its loss in the MCD elections. The BJP won the elections with 184 wards, while the AAP took the second spot with 46 wards. The Congress suffered a rout, winning only 30 wards.
The commission, however, has denied the charges, saying the EVMs used were tamper-proof. Sources in the poll panel said it plans to organise a challenge ‘hackathon’ in May to invite technocrats and representatives from political parties to prove that the EVMs could not be hacked.
