On Monday, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal compared Election Commission with "Dhritarashtra"-- the king in Mahabharata who always helped his son "Duryodhana"(BJP)
According to an NDTV report, Kejriwal said that the Election Commission has become Dhritarashtra that is trying to help his son Duryodhan take power using every trick in the book.
Kejriwal has been demanding that ballot papers be used instead of EVMs in the upcoming Municipal Corporation of Delhi(MCD) elections.
On Sunday, Kejriwal raised the issue referring to media reports that a few machines, used during the bypoll in Rajasthans Dholpur, may have been tampered with and claimed that EVMs were being brought from Rajasthan to be used in the upcoming municipal polls.

Earlier, Kejriwal had claimed that EVMs were being brought from Uttar Pradesh to conduct the polls, a charge the State Election Commission had rejected.
EVMs are robust and tamper-proof and even the manufacturers cannot manipulate them at the time of production, the EC said on Sunday, countering allegations that the machines are unreliable.
