Telugu Desam Party president N. Chandrababu Naidu is leaving on a day's visit to New Delhi on Monday to attend an all-party meeting called by the Election Commission for a discussion on various issues, including the use of electronic voting machines.Mr. Naidu is expected to strongly pitch for reverting to the ballot system, as there is conclusive evidence that EVMs can be tampered.

At a meeting with senior party leaders on Sunday, Mr. Naidu is learnt to have opined that there was no point in continuing to use EVMs when developed countries had dispensed with the system owing to its vulnerabilities. He is likely to ask the EC to introduce paper trail, wherein a print slip detailing the party/candidate for which the vote is cast, if it refuses to return to the ballot.
