PTI, PATNA: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar Wednesday defended Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), saying it was “perfectly fine” and suggested that there will not be any problem if voter verifiable paper audit trails (VVPAT) are made available at every polling stations. Kumar said he was not in agreement with the things said.
In an apparent dig at the Congress, which is among opposition parties who are criticising EVMs, Kumar asked “during whose time the EVM system was introduced?””My stand on the use of EVM is very clear. EVMs are perfectly fine. There will not be any problem if VVPAT is made available at every polling stations. I do not agree with things which are being said about EVM. In my view, EVM has strengthened people’s right to vote,” Kumar told reporters.
