New Delhi, Sep 13 (UNI) Counting for the Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) polls has been suspended following complaints of alleged malfunctioning in Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs).
Congress student wing National Students' Union of India (NSUI) which was leading in the President and Secretary posts after six round of counting, alleged that EVM was tampered in the polls.
“EVM tampering in DU this time. Votes are being displayed on Ballot no 10 in Secretary post. There's no one on Ballot no 10, NOTA is 9,” NSUI tweeted.
AICC secretary, Ruchi Gupta said, “NSUI was winning DUSU President and Secretary after 6 rounds. Then 6 EVMs started malfunctioning and EC wanted to set those aside.”
Questioning how this machines which were working till yesterday during polling were no longer working during counting, Ms Gupta said, “Clearly some sabotage to help ABVP.”
Claiming that votes were being displayed for Secretary post on ballot number 10, the Gupta said, “there is no ballot number 10, NOTA the last ballot was on ballot number 9.”
The polling for the election to office bearer of DUSU held on 52 centres on Wednesday witnessed a voter turnout of 44.46 percent. All together 23 candidates are in the fray.
