Referring to the recent Supreme Court ruling that upheld the use of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) in elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the Congress which always blamed EVMs for its electoral defeats is now searching for a fresh excuse for its impending defeat in the 2024 elections.
“Whenever the Congress lost elections, it blamed EVMs. It found fault with EVMs for everything. Congress leaders chanted the EVMs mantra throughout the elections. However, the Supreme Court has recently slapped them on the issue,” he said.
“Till now, they somehow used EVMs for boosting the morale of their party workers. After the Supreme Court ruling, they cannot use the EVMs issue anymore. The entire Congress is now preparing to find a new pretext for its defeat in the elections,” Mr. Modi said at a public meeting in Davangere on Sunday.
