New Delhi, Apr 5 (IBNS) : The Rajya Sabha on Wednesday was briefly adjourned after the Opposition parties raised an uproar over the alleged tampering of electronic voting machines to favour the BJP., reports said.

Uniting over the issue, members of the Congress, Bahujan Samaj Pary and the Samajwadi Party stormed the well of the House, called the Government a “cheat” and raised slogans.

Deputy Chairman P J Kurien, who tried to pacify the agitated Opposition members, said according to the EC, EVM tampering is not possible. “I have to inform you that this is an issue to be taken up with Election Commission not with Chair,” he said, before adjourning proceedings.
