Opposition parties, sore losers on EVM issue

Opposition would only appear to be sore losers if it does not quit complaining about the EVMs. Without establishing how, when, where and by whom can the EVMs be hacked, it continues to raise doubts about the most fool-proof process to poll voter's opinion in a most efficient and technologically sound manner.

The TDP chief claims that tampering with EVMs is as easy as tapping a phone. CM Chandrababu Naidu apparently believes that EVMs can be manipulated using frequencies. I feel that such arguments are strangely similar to PM Modi's 'cloud radar' faux-pas. Surprisingly after the exit polls several videos began circulating on Twitter, which showed EVMs being stored or being transferred to storage rooms.

What's interesting to note is that most social media handles where the videos originated from blamed the BJP for allegedly trying to tamper with the EVMs - even though nothing much could be concluded from the videos at hand.
