Evm: Dangers Of Trusting Them Too Much

<b>Ex-RSS chief questions EVM credibility</b>

Former RSS chief KS Sudarshan has questioned the credibility of the electronic voting machines (EVMs) used during polls instead of ballot papers.

“The general election have become contempt of democracy as machines are playing a greater role than the voters,” he said while addressing the concluding day of the State-level Sangha Shiksha Varga here on Friday.

Various political parties have successfully tampered the EVMs to continue in power, which was witnessed in West Bengal way back in 2004, Sudarshan said. “It was a shock for the democracy,” he said, adding that the EVMs are not being used in developed countries like Germany and the USA.

The party, which more than 50 per cent of the population opposed, is now the ruler, he said, indirectly referring to the Congress at the Centre.
