Gujarat elections 2017: Software engineers being hired to hack into EVMs, alleges Hardik Patel

NEW DELHI: Two days after accusing the BJP of possible Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) tampering in Gujarat, Patidar leader Hardik Patel on Sunday said that a group of software engineers was being hired to hack into the machines."Preparations are on to hack 5,000 EVMs in Gujarat with the help of 140 engineers from an Ahmedabad-based company," alleged Patel on Twitter.He followed his tweet up by claiming that there had been an attempt to hack EVMs in Visnagar, Radhanpur, Vav, and several Patel-dominated and tribal areas.Later in the day, he justified his claims about EVM tampering by saying that if a divine creation like the human body can be tampered with, so could an EVM.He added that ATM hacking was a reality, and therefore, EVM tampering was not that improbable.This is not the first time Patel has raised such concerns. On Friday, he used multiple tweets to warn people to remain alert to prevent the BJP from indulging in malpractices."If the BJP loses the Gujarat polls, it will be the party's nemesis. BJP can win Gujarat election only through EVM tampering; it will win Gujarat and lose Himachal Pradesh so that no doubts are raised," he had written.
