Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a swipe at the opposition INDIA bloc, questioning the credibility of their allegations regarding Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs).

 

He humorously remarked that when the election results were announced, he was curious whether the EVMs were "dead or alive." This quip highlighted the opposition's earlier claims of EVM tampering, which Modi dismissed as an attempt to undermine the Election Commission of India.

 

Addressing a meeting of newly elected MPs from the alliance in Parliament, Modi recounted the opposition's pre-election rhetoric surrounding EVMs. He noted their persistent efforts to sow doubt in the electoral process, expressing disbelief that they didn't organise a "funeral procession" for the machines.

 

However, Modi emphasised that the outcome of the elections silenced the opposition's EVM allegations, underscoring the strength and fairness of India's democracy.

 

He expressed hope that such allegations would not resurface in the future, urging the opposition to respect the electoral verdict and refrain from further attempts to discredit the democratic process.

 

In addition to targeting the opposition, Modi also took a dig at the Congress party, highlighting its failure to secure significant seats in the elections. He emphasised the enduring trust placed in the NDA coalition by the people of India, attributing this to the coalition's commitment to good governance and nation-building.

 

Modi's remarks underscored the NDA's unity and resilience, with the coalition emerging as the most successful alliance in India's political landscape. He thanked the leaders of the NDA parties for their support and reaffirmed his commitment to consensus-based governance, promising to leave no stone unturned in fulfilling the aspirations of the nation.

 

Earlier this week, leaders of NDA parties unanimously passed a resolution endorsing Modi as the leader of the alliance. This formal endorsement, coupled with Modi's reassurances of good governance and consensus-building, sets the stage for his third consecutive term as Prime Minister.

 

As Modi prepares to take oath for his third term on June 9, the NDA coalition stands poised to continue its agenda of development and progress. With a strong mandate from the people, Modi's leadership and the unity of the NDA alliance are primed to steer India towards a brighter future.
