After NC, TMC questions EVM talk, Cong claims issue only with EC

TMC MP and party general secretary Abhishek Banerjee told reporters that his "personal opinion was that those raising questions on EVMs should show a demo of its discrepancies to the Election Commission (EC)". "They should show any video to the EC. The EC even called everyone.

I have been conducting elections on the ground for a long time. If someone works well during EVM randomisation and the booth workers check EVMs during mock polls or review form 17C, which is used to check ballot units or control units, during counting of votes, I don't think there is anything substantial in these allegations (of EVM manipulation)," Banerjee said at the Parliament on Monday.
