I fear EVM tampering in MCD polls too: Kejriwal

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Saturday he fears "5 to 10 per cent" EVM tampering in Delhi's civic polls and urged people to vote heavily for the AAP to defeat this.

In an interview, the Aam Aadmi Party leader also accused the Modi government of trying to cripple state governments not with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Saying he was "100 per cent" sure EVM tampering prevented an AAP victory in Punjab, Kejriwal told IANS in an interview that this would be tried on Sunday too in Delhi's municipal elections.

He said there were three reasons he feared Electronic Voting Machine tampering on Sunday.

"One, pre-2006 EVMs without security features are being used in Delhi; two, these EVMs have no VVPATs; three, the EVMs are coming from Rajasthan (where he said EVMs were tampered with).

"The only way to fail EVM tampering is to vote for the AAP tomorrow in huge numbers… People must defeat the EVM tampering."

Kejriwal denied he was complaining about EVMs because the AAP lost the assembly elections in Punjab and Goa.
