In an apparent reference to rigging of electronic voting machines, Aam Aadmi Party candidate from Mumbai Medha Patkar shared a picture of a tag of a controlling unit of one of the booths in her constituency and alleged that her team found it on road.
"We wish to bring a shocking incident to your notice. An address tag used on the control unit used at polling station No.29 at Shivajinagar/Mankhurd Assembly segment of the Mumbai North East Parliamentary constituency was found on the road at Shivajinagar today. This address tag is an important identifier of the machine used on the day of polling and the tag being found on the road indicates that the machine could have been tampered with before being transported to the place of storage after the elections," Patkar said in a late night email communication.
The activist turned political aspirant further said that the Election Commission has not shared with the party the aggregated form 17(c) list yet.
Form 17(c) indicates the ballot number and the controlling unit number of an electronic voting machine.
The party alleged that it had found several inconsistencies in form 17(c) and demanded a thorough probe by the authorities.
