Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)on Monday Dec 18,2017 said that "EVMs have won and Gujarat has lost". AAP sought to know why the Election Commission wasn't ready to count at least 25% of VVPAT slips if the EVMs used in the polls were not tampered with.
AAP, which was testing waters in Gujarat, fielded 33 candidates, all whom lost their deposit. "The VVPAT slips should be counted and tallied with the results of the EVMs. Without that, it's a fixed match. There was virtually no crowd at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rallies and anxiety was writ large in the BJP camp.
Hardik Patel's rallies were extremely crowded. How can they win so easily in such a situation?" AAP spokesperson Saurab Bharadwaj asked
He claimed that EC's decision to count VVPAT slips from one booth in each assembly constituency was a farce and did nothing to clear doubts over the credibility of EVMs. "We are not Class V students. We know that VVPAT slips of those booths where EVM tampering did not take place would be counted by EC. Slips of VVPATs picked up from random booths should be counted," he said
A candidate who fails to get more than one-sixth of the total number of valid votes polled by all the candidates does not get back the deposit amount he paid for filing nomination.
