West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday expressed reservations over electronic voting machines used in the Lok Sabha elections and urged opposition parties to unitedly demand the return of ballot papers for polls. She also urged the opposition parties in the country to set up a fact-finding committee to probe possible tampering of electronic voting machines (EVM) in the Lok Sabha elections. We will urge all opposition parties to raise this demand. “In 1984, Congress won 16 (Lok Sabha) seats (from Bengal). Don’t complain, or agitate, if someone installs an administrator (read President’s Rule) above you for this throttling of democracy,” BJP Bengal unit vice-president Jay Prakash Majumdar said.
