First, it was Ghulam Nabi Azad who spoke about EVM tampering in Orissa. Now, it is a veteran leader speaking about lack of transparency in EVM and EVM technical snags in MP.
It is time Chawla, Chief Election Commissioner wakes up to his responsibilities and acts.

Faults in Electronic Voting Machines(EVMs) lead to defeat of Congress in Madhya Pradesh: Srinivas
New Delhi, Jul 1 : Veteran Congress leader and former Madhya Pradesh Assembly Speaker Srinivas Tiwari today said defeat of the Congress in the Assembly and Lok Sabha elections in the state was due to technical snags in Electronic Voting Machines(EVMs).
He termed the defeat of the Congress in the state a '' defeat on paper''.
In a discussion with UNI reporters at the agency HQ here, Mr Tiwari said there is no transparency in the EVMs because the machine does not clearly show the voter about the party or candidate for whom the vote was cast.
Lack of transparency in the EVMs is against the spirit of democracy, he said.
He strongly asserted that it is the democratic right of voters to know about the party for which they have cast their votes.
He said there is a system followed in many countries where the voters know about the party or candidate for which they have voted.
He demanded that such a system be adopted by the Election Commission ofIndia.
He hailed the victory of the Congress in the recent Lok Sabha elections and said the reason behind the victory was that people wanted a stable and single party to come into power.
He said the people have voted with full democratic spirit in the Lok Sabha polls.
Earlier, the Congress suffered because it was doing the ''politics of compromise'' with other parties. But now the Congress has moved ahead and contested the election on its own and due to which it has gained solidarity.

It is surprising that Congress wallas are complaining. I think Congress and allies enormously benefitted from the EVMs.
UP results are beacause of EVM magic not Rahul baba magic. Even though there is no evidence to prove either.

What he means is that the tampering did not happen in MP and hence the Congress lost! Too bad buddy, your state was not on the list of must have states.
