The recent allegations against the family of Mumbai MP Sanjay Waikar have sparked controversy and raised questions about the integrity of the upcoming elections. Waikar’s kin have been accused of using a mobile phone to allegedly “unlock” an Electronic Voting Machine (EVM), a serious charge with the potential to undermine the electoral process.

The Opposition has voiced strong concerns over the lack of transparency surrounding the incident. They claim that the Election Commission (EC) has refused to share CCTV footage from the location where the alleged tampering took place. This refusal to provide evidence has fueled suspicions and further amplified concerns about potential electoral irregularities.

While the accused individuals deny the charges, the incident has ignited a heated debate about the security and integrity of EVMs. The Opposition’s demands for a thorough investigation and the release of CCTV footage highlight the critical need for transparency and accountability in electoral processes.

This incident underscores the importance of public confidence in the electoral system. Ensuring transparency and addressing allegations of tampering are crucial steps towards maintaining the integrity and credibility of democratic elections.
