Amid apprehensions raised by some political parties over the functioning of EVMs, the BJP said on Sunday that the party has full faith in the EC. Reacting to the complaints made by the Congress and the AAP over the functioning of EVMs, BJP's national general secretary Bhupendra Yadav rejected the charge of tampering and said the machines are kept in the custody of district magistrates.
“We lost in a State like Punjab which was ruled by the BJP-Akali Dal alliance, while the SP lost in UP. We have full faith in the EC,” Yadav told reporters at the party headquarters. The AAP and the Congress had on Saturday lodged a complaint with the EC following media reports that VVPAT deployed for an Assembly bypoll was only dispensing slips of the BJP symbol during a demonstration.
