The Opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) in Bihar urged the Election Commission on Tuesday to consider reverting to the old practice of ballot papers, in place of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), "to ensure free and fair polls".
The party made a request to this effect before an EC delegation, headed by Chief Election Commissioner Rajeev Kumar, which interacted with representatives of political parties on the second day of its three-day tour of the State.
According to the party's representation, signed by State vice-president Vrishan Patel, State spokesperson Chitaranjan Gagan and State general secretary Mukund Singh, elections ought to be conducted through ballot papers to ensure transparency.
