The political hullabaloo over the use of electronic voting machines amounted to nothing in the end. The Election Commission of India has exposed the rank cowardice of the Opposition parties which did not have any courage to meet the challenge posed by the ECI to prove that EVMs can be tampered with.
The parties which have been defeated at the hustings should now analyse the causes for their political setback and leave the ECI and EVMs alone. They should look for reasons why they have strategic deficiencies and a bankruptcy of ideologies.
