Weeks after the Election Commission announced a day-long hackathon of Electronic Voting Machines, the Aam Aadmi Party on Thursday declared that it too would come up with a similar challenge. Addressing a presser in New Delhi, engineer-turned politician, Saurabh Bhardwaj, criticised the Election Commission for disallowing the option to open EVMs during it’s upcoming hackathon.
