Akhilesh Yadav Proclaims End to Communal Politics in India, Questions EVM Trustworthiness

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has declared the 2024 Lok Sabha elections as the turning point for the end of communal politics in India, signaling a significant shift in the political landscape. During his speech in the Lok Sabha, he emphasized this as a moral victory for the INDIA bloc, a coalition aiming to reshape Indian politics. Additionally, despite the potential for a sweeping victory in Uttar Pradesh, Yadav expressed his skepticism towards the reliability of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), stating he would remain distrustful even if his party won all 80 seats in the state. This stance highlights ongoing concerns and debates around the integrity of India's electoral processes.
