Chandigarh: see the black ink sign on the electronic voting machine (EVM) next to a photo of the AAP candidate in a voting booth at Ward Number 23 on Friday pushing BJP to file a complaint to the election staff who led the entire staff.
BJP accused the sign that was intentionally made by someone in the polling staff.
“This is a rare case of EVM.
After this problem arrives at the notification of a senior UT government officer, the engine is properly cleaned and the sign is removed and poll continues,” said a BJP leader.
“At first glance, it looked like an intentional action by the polling staff there.
It was not a simple sign or a sign that happened to be there because of error or ignorance.
How to sign or arrow marked, clearly it was done intentionally.
We submitted A strong objection before the poll officer after the entire election staff from the booth was replaced, “said Arun Sood, President, Chandigarh BJP.
Sood further said interference occurred in several EVM but was completed in a short time.
A senior UT official said, “It is a small thing, which might happen in ignorance.
But we immediately swung in action and change the booth polling staff.
Voting continues at the voting station smoothly.”
