Akhilesh Yadav Declares Discontent with EVMs Amidst Lok Sabha Debate

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav expressed distrust in EVMs during a Lok Sabha debate. He stated that even winning all 80 seats in Uttar Pradesh would not change his stance. Yadav highlighted the INDIA alliance's intent to eliminate EVMs if they come to power while criticizing the Election Commission's impartiality.

In a charged Lok Sabha debate on Tuesday, Samajwadi Party's Akhilesh Yadav reiterated his lack of trust in Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). He declared that this distrust would persist even if his party won all 80 Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh.

During the discourse, focusing on the motion of thanks to the president's address, Yadav emphasized that the INDIA alliance aims to abolish EVMs should they come to power. He questioned the impartiality of the Election Commission, implying that both the government and the commission were biased during the Model Code of Conduct period.

Stressing the gravity of his claims, Yadav insisted, "The issue of EVMs is not dead, and we Samajwadis will remain adamant on it." Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla later advised against questioning the Election Commission's neutrality.
