Directions: Which of the following is an inference which can be made from the facts stated in the below paragraph?
The Union cabinet on Wednesday approved the Election Commission’s demand for procuring paper trail machines, which allow voters to verify their votes are cast correctly by dispensing a slip with voted party’s symbol, ahead of the general elections. The move comes amid increasing political noises questioning the credibility of electronic voting machines (EVMs) and repeated demand by some opposition parties to equip each EVM with a voter-verified paper audit trail (VVPAT) machine. The cabinet, in a meeting chaired by PM Narendra Modi, has approved the purchase of 16.15 lakh VVPAT units at a cost of Rs 3,173 cr, or Rs 19,650 for each unit, from Bharat Electronics, Bangalore, and Electronics Corporation of India, Hyderabad.
