There were, however, some parties whose representatives said their faith in the machines has eroded and the EC should revert to the old ballot paper system.While the BJP, CPI, CPI (M), AIADMK, DMK, NCP, and JD(U) clearly supported the use of EVMs, provided paper trail machines are attached to it, BSP, AAP, Trinamool Congress said that the paper ballot system was better and more transparent.The BSP and the AAP had alleged that the machines used in the recent assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Manipur, Goa, and Punjab were tampered with to favour the BJP. Later, several other parties had joined the chorus and urged the EC to revert to paper ballots.
