Delhi elections 2020: AAP alleges BJP trying to tamper EVMs

Hours after the Delhi Assembly elections took place on Saturday, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was making attempts to tamper the EVM machines. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal asked the Election Commission of India (ECI) as to why the ECI has not released the final voting percentage even after a day.

Kejriwal tweeted "Absolutely shocking what the EC is doing. Why are they not releasing poll turnout figures, several hours after polling?"

On Saturday, Sanjay Singh tweeted a couple of videos in which a person is seen saying that there were voting machines being taken away illegally.

"Does the reserve (forces) not go with the EVM? This official was caught with an EVM by people at Saraswati Vidya Niketan School in Babarpur assembly constituency," read the tweet with one of the videos.

In the other tweet, the EVM machines are being carried across a street and tweet reads, "The EC should also probe where these EVMs are being taken. There are no centres nearby".

But, according to the NDTV, which quoted an ECI official, "All EVMs that were used for the polls have been accounted for. EVMs have been stored safely with police protection in centres and party agents are also allowed to stay outside the centre if they wish,"

After nearly all exit polls predicted a landslide win for AAP, BJP's Manoj Tiwari tweeted, "All these exit polls will fail. Please save this tweet from me. The BJP will form government in the city with 48 seats. Please do not look for excuses and blame the EVMs (Electronic Voting Machines)".
