Lok Sabha elections 2024: PM Modi said every Opposition leader has "committed the sin" of creating doubts in the minds of people about EVMs.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today attacked the Opposition bloc INDIA after the Supreme Court rejected requests for 100 per cent VVPAT verification of votes punched into electronic voting machines (EVMs).
PM Modi said every Opposition leader has "committed the sin" of creating doubts in the minds of people about EVMs. "Their (Opposition) dreams have been shattered," PM Modi said in rally in Bihar as voting on 88 seats across India took place in the second of the seven-phase Lok Sabha elections.
"They did not let people exercise their right to vote for decades. Booth capturing was very common... They did not even let the people step out to vote... Now when the poor and honest voters have the strength of EVM, they are trying all they can to get rid of the EVM... Today, the Supreme Court has given a strong verdict saying that the old system of ballot paper voting will not come back," PM Modi said.
