Hyderabad sources reported that Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee's Uttam Kumar Reddy stated that his party has doubts on ballot paper counting and also hinted at tampering in EVM and suggested that VVPAT slips should be counted to ensure transparency. He said “He is having doubts on results we are getting in Telangana ballot paper counting and they doubt that tampering could have been done in EVMs. Slips should be counted in VVPATs”.



Meanwhile TRS MP from Nizamabad, K Kavitha hit back Reddy's claims and termed his allegation as "totally false". Kavitha asserted "The losing party always says the EVMs have been tampered with, this is absolutely false. Even the CEC in a press meeting yesterday said that it is not possible to tamper EVMs. People have given victory to TRS, what Congress is claiming is false”.
