Election: Not allowing 100% VVPAT matching is cheating the voters, Congress made this request
Election: On social media, Jairam Ramesh, the general secretary of the party, stated that the opposition alliance, the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (India), is calling for a 100% increase in the matching of VVPAT slips.
Congress emphasised the importance of maintaining election transparency on Wednesday, stating that it is unfair to voters to prevent 100% matching of "Voter Verifiable Paper Audit" (VVPAT) slips.
Party General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said on the social media platform that the constituent parties of the opposition alliance 'Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance' (India) are demanding that the matching of VVPAT slips should be increased to 100 per cent. Ramesh said that on April 8, 2019, the Supreme Court had requested the Election Commission to increase the number of election booths with VVPAT slip matching. Bureau
Referring to the court case, he said, the case is 'N Chandrababu Naidu vs Union of India'. Yes, the same Chandrababu Naidu who was once known as the hi-tech Chief Minister. Naidu was then the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. The Election Commission's reluctance to engage with 'India' constituent parties on this issue raises even more questions, he said. Ramesh questioned whether the Election Commission should not make efforts to bring more accountability and transparency in this technology.
