After the bumper voting in the Himachal Pradesh assembly elections, there has been a political hue and cry over the security of EVMs.
Let us tell you that Congress party workers in Himachal Pradesh are keeping a tight vigil day and night by pitching tents outside the strong rooms of many seats. For the safety of EVMs in Ghumarwin, Dharampur Assembly, Nachan, Paonta Sahib and Gagret Assembly constituencies, Congressmen have even installed CCTV cameras in tents outside strong rooms. The Congress has taken this step in anticipation of EVM glitches. The BJP, on the other hand, has raised strong objections to this and has decided to lodge a complaint with the Election Commission alleging violation of the Model Election Code. BJP leader Ganesh Dutt said that the Congress has pitched tents within 200 meters of the strong room, which is a direct violation of the Election Commission’s rules, against which the BJP will file a complaint with the Election Commission. Let us tell you that before this, there was a controversy in Himachal Pradesh regarding carrying EVM machine in a private car.
Significantly, BJP’s Ganesh Dutt said in Shimla on Monday that Congress is facing the fear of defeat, due to which now it has started questioning EVMs as usual. He also said that the Congress party is keeping the functioning of the Election Commission in the dock due to defeat. On the other hand, State Congress vice-president Naresh Chauhan has said that after the incident that took place in Rampur’s Dattanagar, Congress workers are apprehensive that there may be disturbances in the security of EVMs. That’s why the workers are guarding their respective areas regarding security. He questioned why the BJP was feeling insecure because of this. Security is for all parties, what is the problem of BJP in this. If there is no thief in the mind of the BJP, then why are they questioning the security provided by the Congress workers. Now even in Gujarat elections, Congress and Aam Aadmi Party are also keeping an eye on EVMs.
