New Delhi: The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Friday evening announced that the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) challenge was ‘on’ as scheduled, beginning 10 AM on Saturday.
The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and CPI (M) were the only two parties that registered to take up the challenge to hack into the EVMs.
The ECI had thrown open the challenge after the Opposition parties – Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) being the most vociferous of all – questioned the reliability of the EVMs.
