Soon after the Gujarat Assembly elections, Hardik Patel and other Opposition leaders had alleged tampering of EVMS. The Patidar leader, a day after the counting, had alleged that around 140 software engineers of an Ahmedabad-based company were employed to tamper the voting machines, especially in the areas dominated by Patidars and tribals.
