Parties which can't handle defeat blame EVMs: EC
Slamming political parties for opposing Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), Chief Election Commissioner Om Prakash Rawat has said, "Political parties that cannot take defeat need to blame someone." Stating that EVMs and Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) machines allow the EC to announce poll results within hours, he added that the machines enhance the transparency in the voting process.
