Akhilesh Yadav has underlined his distrust of EVMs, or Electronic Voting Machines, stating he would be loath to change his opinion even if he were to win all of Uttar Pradesh's 80 Lok Sabha seats.
"I did not trust EVMs yesterday, I don't trust them today. Even if I win all 80 seats in UP, I still will not trust EVMs. This will always be an issue," the ex-UP Chief Minister said, "We (Mr Yadav's Samajwadi Party) will remain adamant on this... if we win with EVMs we will still remove it."
"This will never be resolved till use of EVM is stopped... and we are determined to do so," he said in Parliament, replying to the Motion of Thanks on President Droupadi Murmu's address last week.
