Our responsibility to convince political parties on EVMs: CEC Kumar

New Delhi, Mar 29 (PTI) Days after a group of opposition parties raised concerns over the efficacy of EVMs, Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar on Wednesday said it was the poll panel's responsibility to convince political parties on the voting machines.

He also said over the years, electronic voting machines have given results in favour of all those who have raised concerns over its reliability.

Several opposition parties had last week flagged concerns over the reliability of EVMs and had urged the Election Commission to address their doubts.
