Lucknow, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday once again advocated for the use of ballot paper for voting, citing recent elections in the United Kingdom as an example, and demanded that elections in India be conducted through ballot paper.
Speaking to reporters at the party office in Lucknow on Saturday, Yadav stated, "Yesterday, elections were held in a very developed country, the UK. Voting took place by secret ballot. The entire UK voted using ballots. Are we ahead of England? This demand is not new; it has always been a call from socialists. While countries like America, Japan, Germany, and England voted yesterday, we believe it is essential for us to cast votes by ballot."
