Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today said the Election Commission of India should convene an all-party meet to discuss the alleged Electronic voting Machine (EVM) tampering.
“Whether one would accept or not is absolutely their choice. But the Election Commission may call for an all-party meeting. Let it be discussed,” said Banerjee.
In the video clippings, Swamy is seen saying that the EVMs were made in Japan but ballot papers were used even there during elections because the machines can be tampered.
Even countries like the US and Germany are using ballot papers instead of EVMs, the BJP leader was heard saying in the in the video footage.
Describing Swamy as “very strong legally,” Banerjee said, “What he (Swamy) has said is not wrong… he has not said anything bad.. I have not said anything but I think there can be an investigation in this.”
Incidentally, Mayawati has accused the BJP of murdering democracy, saying that the tampering of EVMs was responsible for her party s poor show in Uttar Pradesh
