Have been saying since 2003, I don't trust EVMs: Digvijaya Singh

Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh again raised questions over EVMs on Sunday and demanded that voters be handed over VVPAT slips that can then be put in ballot boxes.

Responding to a video raising questions about the use of EVMs in elections, Mr. Singh stated that he has been saying since 2003 that he does not trust EVMs.

"To whom I want to cast my vote, I don't even know where my vote has been cast. There is no such machine in the world in which a chip is inserted which cannot be hacked. Because the chip will follow the orders of the software embedded in it. You will type 'A' the software will say 'A' and only 'A' will be printed," he said.
