Modi slammed Congress allegation on hacking EVM in Gujarat

On Saturday PM Modi continued his tirade against the Congress claiming that the generation shift hadn’t changed anything in the party. He mocked Congress leader Arjun Modhwadia who had thought that was a Bluetooth device was being used to hack EVM’s.

He said: “BJP is fighting these elections on the issue of development.
Congress is back to their old tricks. A generational shift has not brought in a new political culture for the party. They rely on their same divide and rule politics. With the Mantra of Shanti, Ekta, and Sadbhavana, BJP Governments have taken Gujarat to new heights of progress. A society that is united and harmonious can progress well.”

He also mocked Congress leaders who claimed yesterday that EVMs were hacked due to Bluetooth. He said, “There are some people in Delhi whose sole Mission is ‘Parivar Bachao.’ These are the same people who, in an hour of voting yesterday, started saying EVMs are hacked thanks to Bluetooth! Some logic this is.”

The Election Commission (EC) in Gujarat said that an inquiry found that the apprehension about possible EVM tampering through Bluetooth technology, raised by opposition Congress, was baseless.

The device which the complainant’s mobile phone detected after putting on Bluetooth was not an Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) but a mobile phone, carried by a polling agent, the commission said.

Modi also stated Congress leaders mocked him when he said he would ensure electrification of villages in Gujarat, as he said: “When I first stated, my intent to ensure electrification of villages in Gujarat, the state Congress leaders mocked me. They said it can never happen, they also asked me- you have not headed a Panchayat how can you promise this. We proved them wrong, ensured villages get power.”
