To be frank, EC is a toothless body they're not empowered to take action on corrupt and mighty political parties and politicians who indulge in gross violations. Moreover, EC is a bunch of old people who're looking for post-retirement benefits. EC can only issue statements stating EVMs are tamper-proof but they have not explained at least some 15 instances in recent past of serious EVM misbehavior which voted only to one party across India. Why is EC backing out of EVM Hackathon welcoming experts who wish to hack if they think EVM are tamper-proof. Only backward poor countries like Pak use EVMs along with India we know why they use primary reason is rigging, the most developed nations who invented EVMs themselves dumped EVMs because of their vulnerability. In fact, Indian EVMs were already hacked by security experts in the past, here is a research paper on it. https://indiaevm.org/evm_tr2010-jul29.pdf

I don't think so EVMs are tamper proof. Hence can't be rigged

No less than Atomic energy chief said EVMs have more than required security features.

Well, Is Atomic energy chief  a Computer and security expert, I think he is not aware Indian EVMs were already hacked by security experts, here is research paper of it:  https://www.indiaevm.org/evm_tr2010-jul29.pdf

E.V.M Fault is just excuse of parties after losing.

Yes it is a pretext, Political parties like AAP, Congress and BSP attribute their defeats to the EVMs. But they never think that People kicked them Out

That may be partly true, however blaming EC and calling them toothless is not right because by questioning an authority without sufficient proof corrodes the credibility of our system. I am sure EC is aware of the short coming s of the machines and steps would have been taken to rectify them. . Simply because losers point fingers at everything  else for their failure except their own lack, does not mean they are right and the machines are suspect !
