New Delhi: Opposition dreams have been shattered on EVMs and VVPATs after Supreme Court verdict, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday. Modi in his address at a rally in Bihar on Friday said t hat every Opposition leader has committed the sin of creating doubts in the minds of people about EVMs.

The Supreme Court rejected requests for 100% VVPAT verification of votes punched into EVMs. Modi accused the opposition that they did not let people exercise their right to vote for decades. Before EVMs introduction in the election process booth capturing was very common. The political parties did not even let the people step out to vote. Now when the poor and honest voters have the strength of EVM, they are trying all they can to get rid of the EVM.

The Supreme Court has given a strong verdict saying that the old system of ballot paper voting will not come back, said Modi. The clutch of petitions was filed by the non-profit Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) and others.

The Supreme Court questioned the credentials of the ADR too. A trend has been fast developing of certain vested interest groups endeavoring to undermine the achievements and accomplishments of the nation, said Justice Dipankar Datta.

Justice Dipankar Datta in his verdict said that there seems to be a concerted effort to discredit, diminish, and weaken the progress of this great nation on every possible frontier. Any such effort, or rather attempt, has to be nipped in the bud.

PM Modi said the Supreme Court verdict has given such a shock to the I.N.D.I.A block that those who had the intention to loot ballot boxes that all their dreams have been shattered.

There are two main streams in politics in now days. One stream is the BJP-led NDA which wants to strengthen the people of India. On the other side is I.N.DI.A alliance which wants to fill their own pockets by seizing the property of people, he added.
