TMC National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee on Monday slammed those questioning the integrity of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), stating that if they have anything, they should “show a demo” of their claims to the Election Commission of India (ECI).
Abhishek, the MP from West Bengal’s Diamond Harbour, did not specifically name Congress or its leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, in his remarks. He further said that simply “making random statements” would not achieve anything.
Speaking to the media after attending the Winter session of Parliament in New Delhi, the Trinamool Congress leader stressed that if the EVM randomisation process is done properly and the booth staff conduct thorough checks during mock polls and counting, then there is no substance to these allegations.
“If still someone feels that EVMs can be hacked, then they should meet the Election Commission and show how EVMs can be hacked,” he noted.
