Prasad attacked the Congress saying, “What was Mr Kapil Sibal doing there? In what capacity was he present there? I believe he was monitoring the situation on behalf of Congress party. Is the Congress sponsored event designed to insult the popular mandate of 2014?”
Although, the Opposition parties are stating that it’s important to at least listen to the allegations and act accordingly. The Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav asked to go away with the existing EVM’s like that of Japan.
Yadav claimed that “If someone has raised a question then it must be thought that what is the reason that a developed country like Japan is not using EVMs. It is not a question of a political party, it's a question of trust in democracy. Election Commission & government should make a decision.”
