Dwivedi: today, ECI operates in an atmosphere of sharp political [hostility]. Hardly any matter where there's no sharp contest. Coming back to the legal points - we have seen repeated challenge to EVM. Your lordships have upheld powers of the Commission. Prayer sought for returning to paper ballot was rejected. This hue and cry that egregiously wrong steps being taken by Commission...we are caught up between struggle between political parties. If they lose in one state, EVM is bad. I'm not concerned with their perception, but with legality. About perception, we can't do anything. Political parties will have their own necessities to project a perception to win an election.
