Numerous complaints of malfunctioning of electronic voting machines (EVMs) were reported from across Kerala yesterday.
The malfunctioning was pointed out by none other than Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan who said that election officials appear to have failed to ensure that the EVMs worked properly. �I myself had to wait for a while and I was told that the EVMs are not working. I am also told that this is the case in other places also,� Vijayan told the media in Kannur after he voted.
The leader of the opposition, who voted in Alappuzha, also complained about faulty EVMs. At a booth in Pathanamthitta Lok Sabha constituency, even two hours after the polling began officially, voting had not begun at one booth because the EVMs did not work.
Thiruvananthapuram District Collector K Vasuki rubbished reports that at a booth in Kovalam in the state capital, whenever the button for the Congress candidate was pressed, the light against the BJP symbol lit up. �This has been checked and this is not true,� said Vasuki.
