PM takes on Oppn over VVPAT order
The Morning Standard
|April 27, 2024
AFTER the Supreme Court's judgment on electronic voting machines (EVMs), Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday asked the opposition INDIA bloc to apologise for "creating doubts" in their minds about the authenticity of these machines and demanding return to the ballot paper system.
The Supreme Court rejected the petitions for 100% verification of votes polled on EVMS with paper slips printed by the Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) machines.
Addressing a rally at Forbesganj in Araria district, Modi attacked the Congress and its ally RJD. "INDIA leaders have committed a sin by creating doubts among minds of people about EVMs. Supreme Court has slapped on the face of Congress and RJD as the opposition wanted restoration of ballot paper system for holding election.
They cannot look up after the SC order. We have 'Vjay Diwas' for democracy," he said.
