Akhilesh Yadav raised these important issues
Akhilesh Yadav once again cornered the government on the issue of caste census and EVMs in the House and said that social justice is not possible without caste census. Not only this, he also said that he does not trust EVMs at all and whenever his government comes, he will work to remove EVMs. During the elections, Rahul Gandhi used to speak openly about caste census and EVMs. However, he did not include them in his speech in the Lok Sabha.
Regarding EVM, Akhilesh Yadav said that “When the code of conduct was implemented, the government and the Election Commission were very kind to some people. If that institution is impartial, our democracy will be stronger. I did not trust EVM even yesterday. I do not trust it even today. Even if I win all 80 seats, I will not trust it. I had said in my election that after winning with EVM, I will work to remove EVM. Neither the issue of EVM is dead nor will it end. Till the EVM is not removed, we socialist people will stick to that point.”
At the same time, he once again raised the issue of caste census and said that “We are in support of the issue that was raised earlier regarding caste census. Social justice for all is not possible without caste census. It is difficult to get rights for everyone.”
