Mumbai: The Shiv Sena (UBT) has demanded to the Election Commission of India to keep a check on the charging of the EVM batteries on the polling and counting day.
Senior party leader Subhash Desai handed over the ECI a letter making several demands on Tuesday. “The batteries that are installed in all the three ballot units (ballot unit, VVPT unit and control unit) the indicator shows the time and date of commencement of voting and time at which polling ended.
The polling volunteers must note these details along with the battery code number and the extent to which the battery was charged. These notes can be later verified for accuracy by the vote counting agents and necessary action can be initiated in case of any discrepancies. This will resolve the controversy over batteries,” stated the letter.
The Congress had alleged that low charging of the EVM batteries gave the BJP an undue advantage in the Haryana Assembly election.
