EC failed to provide substantive response to 'genuine concerns' over EVMs: Jairam Ramesh

IndiaTimes Monday, 8 January 2024
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh criticizes the Election Commission for not addressing concerns over EVMs and VVPATs. Ramesh wrote a letter to Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar expressing disappointment with the Commission's response. He requested an appointment to discuss the usage of VVPATs, but the Commission directed him to generic FAQs instead. Ramesh argues that the Commission's refusal to engage with political parties on EVMs and VVPATs is a matter of concern. He also points out that judicial orders do not prevent the Commission from meeting with political parties to discuss these issues.
