PM Modi's 'Jungle Raj' Barb In Bihar, Praise For EVM Verdict: "Polling Booths Were Looted..."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded the Supreme Court's recent verdict on EVMs and VVPATs. The Supreme Court on Friday rejected all the petitions seeking 100 per cent verification of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) votes with their Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) slips. PM Narendra Modi slammed RJD and Congress and talked about the times when polling booths were captured in Bihar. "RJD and Congress alliance in Bihar neither cares about the constitution of India, not about democracy. They did not let people exercise their right to vote for decades. Booth capturing was very common. They did not even let the people step out to vote. Now when the poor and honest voters have the strength of EVM, they are trying all they can to get rid of the EVM. Today, the Supreme Court has given a strong verdict saying that the old system of ballot paper voting will not come back," he said.
