Fact-check<\/h2>\n

Alt News had earlier debunked<\/a> the video in March 2019 when it was circulated with a false narrative that PM Modi, Amit Shah and the Election Commission had hatched a conspiracy to store electronic voting machines in strong rooms, which were then transported in an unnumbered school bus and two Bolero jeeps. It was found that the video was shot in November 2018 when Congress workers accused the BJP of tampering with votes, ahead of the Madhya Pradesh assembly elections. It was also claimed these EVMs reached the polling booth 48 hours after voting had concluded.<\/p>\n

Controversy over EVMs in Chandauli<\/h3>\n

A controversy did erupt over the allegation raised by the opposition parties of EVMs being unloaded from a truck without any security in Chandauli, Uttar Pradesh.<\/p>\n

However, the CEO UP allayed the apprehensions over the security of EVMs. He said, “In Chandauli, unused EVMs were unloaded in the store located on the Mandi Parishad premises (where strong rooms also exist) after informing representatives of all political parties. Suddenly, the representatives of a political party raised objection. They demanded that unused EVMs should be kept in the district collectorate. Later, the EVMs were shifted to the collectorate premises with representatives of all political parties present during the shifting.”<\/em><\/p>\n

It may be noted that complaints regarding EVMs had indeed been raised<\/a> by the opposition parties in Chandauli, MP. However, the video report published by National Dastak<\/em> has passed off an old video from Madhya Pradesh as pertaining to the protest in Chandauli.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
