'Will abolish EVMs if Samajwadi Party comes to power in 2022 UP elections': Akhilesh Yadav

The Samajwadi Party (SP) will win the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections by a huge majority and then 'samajwadi people' will work towards abolishing the electronic voting system, party president Akhilesh Yadav claimed on Thursday. "On EVMs (Electronic Voting Machines), I still say that no one trusts them. Recently in the USA, the polls were conducted on ballot papers, and counting took several days. People trust only ballot papers, but this fight cannot be fought right now," the SP chief said in Jhansi when asked about his views on EVMs.
