'Even If I Win 80 Seats...': Akhilesh Yadav's Fresh Dig On EVM At Election Commission

In a fresh dig over the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM), Samajwadi Party supremo Akhilesh Yadav said on Tuesday he does not trust the EVMs, and even if his party wins all 80 seats in Uttar Pradesh, it will not restore his faith in them.

What all did Akhilesh Yadav say over EVMs?

Addressing the Lok Sabha, Yadav said, 바카라�Mr. Speaker, I had no faith in EVMs in the past, I have none in the present, and I will have none in the future.바카라�

바카라�Even if I win all 80 seats in Uttar Pradesh, I still won바카라�t have any faith in EVMs. During the poll campaign, I mentioned that we aim to win the election with EVMs to eventually remove EVMs,바카라� Akhilesh said.

"The issue of EVMs will exist as long as they are not removed from the election process and Samajwadi Party will keep highlighting it", he added.

Targeting the apex poll body, Akhilesh said that when the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) was enforced, ECI along with the government, showed leniency with many people.

바카라�I don바카라�t want to get into details, but questions have been raised about the ECI because of the government. If the poll body remains independent, not only will India's democracy be healthy, but it will also become more powerful across the globe,바카라� he said.

바카라�I remember the day when Prime Minister Narendra Modi got down from the IAF바카라�s aircraft on the road, and the chief minister was not sitting with him. That expressway and the ones currently under construction are being funded by the state바카라�s budget. The Centre has not contributed any expressway to the state,바카라� the Kannauj MP added.

바카라�Those villages adopted by the Prime Minister still have dilapidated roads, no water facilities, and people don바카라�t have access to LPG cylinders. The government couldn't change them and makes fake promises of smart cities,바카라� he said.
