PMK president G.K. Mani on Sunday opposed the state election commission (SEC) move to use electronic voting machines (EVMs) for the ensuing local body elections.
“We are not in favour of using EVMs in the local body elections. We had raised our objection to the SEC,” he told reporters here. The SEC has planned to use the EVMs in all the urban local bodies for the first time in the state.
Mr Mani said that the state government should bring amendments to elect panchayat vice-chairman and district panchayat chairman directly, like the post of mayor and chairperson of municipality. “If the government bring in such an amendment, we will welcome it,” he said. In a separate statement, PMK founder Dr S. Ramadoss demanded that TN should recruit 48,313 teachers on seniority basis through employment exchange.
