The issue of EVM tampering is also likely to be raised before the President by the joint delegation.
Leaders of various Opposition parties have already met the EC demanding that use of EVMs be scrapped and ballot paper introduced. The parties have also suggested various alternative measures.
The delegation will comprise leaders of various parties led by the Congress and will include the Left and the TMC, the DMK, the NCP, the JD-U, the RJD, the SP and the BSP, among others.
It is after a few months that the Opposition unity has once again been forged as the last such effort was marred by some parties staying away from a joint delegation to the President following some differences.
Opposition parties have been together in cornering the government on several issues, leaving aside their differences.
