Rahul Gandhi, Congress leader, criticized India’s Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), calling them a “black box” inaccessible for scrutiny, which raises transparency concerns in elections. He referenced a media report alleging EVM manipulation and echoed Elon Musk’s views on eliminating EVMs due to hacking risks. Opposition parties, including Gandhi’s Congress, have long advocated for increased scrutiny of EVMs, including a demand for 100% VVPAT slip counting. Former Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar countered Musk’s concerns, asserting Indian EVMs’ security, prompting Musk’s rebuttal that “anything can be hacked.”
