"Even If I Win All 80 Seats In UP...": Akhilesh Yadav On EVM Row
NDTV
Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party is part of the Congress-led INDIA bloc that stymied the BJP's grand 'abki baar, 400 paar' plan in the 2024 election.
Akhilesh Yadav has underlined his distrust of EVMs, or Electronic Voting Machines, stating he would be loath to change his opinion even if he were to win all of Uttar Pradesh's 80 Lok Sabha seats. #WATCH | On EVMs, Samajwadi Party MP Akhilesh Yadav says,"...EVM pe mujhe kal bhi bharosa nahi tha, aaj bhi nahi hai bharosa, mein 80/80 seats jeet jaun tab bhi nahi bharosa...The issue of EVM has not died" pic.twitter.com/UJIS6hBGQt
"I did not trust EVMs yesterday, I don't trust them today. Even if I win all 80 seats in UP, I still will not trust EVMs. This will always be an issue," the ex-UP Chief Minister said, "We (Mr Yadav's Samajwadi Party) will remain adamant on this... if we win with EVMs we will still remove it."
"This will never be resolved till use of EVM is stopped... and we are determined to do so," he said in Parliament, replying to the Motion of Thanks on President Droupadi Murmu's address last week.
