New Delhi: Former chief justice of India D Y Chandrachud on Wednesday rubbished claims of opposition parties over the authenticity of electronic voting machines and said the Supreme Court repeatedly upheld the validity of EVM.
In response to a question, the former CJI said, “Well, this is not a day to discuss this. The Supreme Court has repeatedly upheld the validity of the EVMs. The Supreme Court is the last voice in the constitutional space on adjudication and it has affirmed the validity of the EVMs. And I think we must accept it.”
He was talking to reporters outside a polling station after casting his vote in Delhi assembly polls.
Delhi Assembly Election 2025 | The first of two state assembly polls this year sees a three-way contest between AAP, Congress, and BJP in the nation's capital. AAP decided to contest the polls alone, causing rumours of a rift in I.N.D.I.A. BJP, meanwhile, is hoping the liquor excise policy scam and pollution in Delhi will give the saffron party an edge over AAP. Kejriwal, on the other hand, has different plans with his demand for reservations for Delhi Jats. Congress will also be looking to make its presence felt and has not held back from attacking its own alliance partner.
