Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday claimed the Election Commission has "backed out of the proposed hackathon" to ascertain the reliability of EVMs and said it was a "sad" move.

His remarks comes hours after the poll panel told an all-party meeting that it would offer them an opportunity to prove that EVMs used in the recent Assembly polls were tampered with.

"Sad that EC has backed out of hackathon," Kejriwal tweeted.

The all-party meeting convened by the EC to discuss the reliability of EVMs, and other electoral reforms, saw a debate over the definition of 'hacking'.
