LUCKNOW: Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav today demanded that all future elections be conducted through ballot papers as “electronic voting machines cannot be relied upon” and said there should be a coalition between all parties to fight the BJP.
“When will EVMs develop a snag no one can tell … When will the software fail … Machines cannot be relied upon. We do not have faith in EVMs,” Akhilesh told news persons here.
“We have 100 per cent faith in our ballot papers and it is our demand that future elections are held using them … We do not want to go into whether EVMs are good or bad,” the former UP chief minister said.
“Questions are being raised on the EVMs. People are yet to come to terms with the fact that they pressed the button against the cycle (SP election symbol) on the EVMs, but vote went to the BJP. (AGENCIES)
