FOLLOW US ON:
Nashik: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and senior NCP leader Ajit Pawar on Wednesday said Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) ensure proper polling and show correct numbers which he attributed to his personal experience as a contestant in the state Assembly polls held in the past. Comments of Ajit Pawar, nephew of NCP chief Sharad Pawar, appeared to be at variance with the party s stand on the EVMs. Speaking at a press conference here, Ajit Pawar sarcastically said the EVM provides for an opportunity to the candidates who get routed in elections or for their parties to cite tampering of the machine as the cause for the electoral defeat . I too have contested six to seven polls…it (the EVM) ensures proper polling and shows proper numbers, said Ajit Pawar, who represents Baramati Assembly segment, and also holds Finance portfolio.
