The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) on Tuesday joined the Opposition demand to hold the upcoming civic body polls in the state using ballot papers, reported news agency PTI.

A delegation of MNS leaders also met the State Election Commissioner with a list of demands, which included the use of VVPATs (voter verifiable paper audit trails), a method of providing feedback to voters who use an electronic voting machine.

"It appears there is a problem in the electoral rolls. There was also an issue of use of VVPATs," MNS leader Shirish Sawant told reporters.
