Guwahati, 26th April: Assam’s Minister and BJP leader Pijush Hazarika cast his vote for the Lok Sabha Polls 2024 in Nagaon, addressing the media to dismiss opposition allegations regarding Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) devices.
Hazarika dismissed the allegations, stating, “Whenever Congress wins, then there is no discussion of EVM and VVPAT… When they won in Himachal Pradesh, did they oppose EVMs… Whenever the opposition (Congress) loses, they blame the EVMs. All these allegations are baseless. It is just their character.”
Expressing confidence in the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) performance, Hazarika expressed hope for a significant victory, saying, “I hope we will win more than 400 seats. PM Narendra Modi will be the PM for the 3rd time.”
He highlighted the BJP’s achievements during its tenure, citing infrastructure development as a key factor in garnering public support. “The BJP has done the work in the nation. They have increased the number of airports, highways, medical colleges, etc. That’s why people support PM Modi,” he added.
