Uttarakhand Congress today asked the Election Commission of India to address BSP chief Mayawati's allegation that the EVMs have been tampered with in Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls.
The suspicion raised by Mayawati about possible tampering of EVMs questions the credibility of the poll panel which it must address, outgoing Chief Minister of Uttarakhand Harish Rawat and state Congress chief Kishore Upadhyay said during a joint press conference here.
BSP chief Mayawati had yesterday alleged that the EVMs were tampered with in such a way that whichever button was pressed, the vote went to the BJP.

"The Election Commission must address the doubts being cast on its credibility. I hope the Commission will soon do something about it," said Rawat, who has lost in both the seats he contested.
Upadhyay said he will tour the state along with Rawat to boost the morale of Congress workers.
"The party will play the role of a constructive opposition and cooperate with the state government," he said.
BJP scored a massive victory in Uttarakhand winning 56 of the 70 seats in the state to storm to power, reducing the Congress to minuscule minority in the state Assembly with a poor tally of 11 seats.
