Allegations on EVMs tampering are 'far from truth', says Ananth Kumar

Allegations on tampering of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) are "far from truth" and the Opposition is trying to discredit the victory of the BJP in the recent polls, Union Minister Ananth Kumar said today.

Raising the issue of alleged tampering of EVMs during the Zero Hour, CPI-M leader P Karunakaran demanded an in-depth and independent inquiry into the matter.

Mentioning reports about an EVM being tampered with in Madhya Pradesh, he also suggested that there could be an alternative mechanism to the machines.
