Apart from this, he said that allegations have been made regarding slow vote counting. Apart from this, many questions have also been raised. We will answer all questions. Transparency is our priority. Regarding tampering with EVMs, he said that the talk of tampering with EVMs has no merit. The Supreme Court has also said that EVM machines cannot be hacked. Even after this an attempt was made to cast doubt on EVMs.
EVMs are ready a week before the elections. The EVM machine is sealed in front of the polling agents. EVMs are sealed after voting is over. The process of EVM is completely transparent.
The cycle of allegations and accusations continues, there is no complaint; Let the balloons of lies get support, there is no complaint; Proof is given for each result; But they discover a new world of doubt without proof and even Hakeem Luqman does not have the cure for doubt.
