VARANASI: Samajwadi Party (SP) leaders and supporters created ruckus at the assembly poll counting venue in Pahadia area on Tuesday evening by claiming to have caught a truck loaded with electronic voting machines being taken inside the campus to replace actual EVMs of City South assembly seat.
Taking note of it, district election officer Kaushal Raj Sharma made it clear that EMVs used for voting in each of eight assembly areas had been stored in strong rooms under the supervision of ECI’s observers and also agents of all political parties. These EVMs have been kept under the security of central paramilitary forces as well as CCTV surveillance, he said.
