Yesterday in Lok Sabha Prime Minister Narendra Modi lashed out at Congress for failing to recognize the non-Gandhi Prime Ministers. Today, Modi responded on the EVM tampering. During the elections, there was a wide debate about EVMs and TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu extensively campaigned against use of EVMs in the elections.
Terming it as a new disease, blaming the EVMs has become a new fashion for political parties. ‘In the year 1977, the first discussion on EVM happened and in the 1992 guidelines on EVMs were issued. We were not in power then and in fact it was the Congress that was in government. There were times when BJP had two MPs in Lok Sabha. Today we overcame many hurdles,’ said Modi.
Not just EVMs, the oppositions are against Aadhar, BHIM App, digital India, GST. Why such negativity?,’ questioned Modi. Some leaders say that BJP won the elections and India lost. If Congress wins, many would have claimed India has won. Are Congress and India same? Not at all and electoral process should be respected in a democracy,’ added Modi.
