WB CM Mamata Banerjee bats for use of ballot paper in upcoming polls

“If there is any doubt (on EVMs) then let’s opt for ballot paper,” the TMC supremo said. Opposition parties are unitedly taking up with the EC the issue of alleged EVM tampering in the recently held elections. She said in a democracy the EC cannot be immune to the demand of the majority of political parties.

“The EC has to abide by the democratic process, when so many political parties are raising it. The EC has to increase its staff strength for counting,” she said. Incidentally, the CPI(M) is also part of the joint delegation seeking EVM replacement.
