Top BJP leader, Pankaj Choudhary from Maharajganj, Uttar Pradesh name is mentioned by Narendra Kharwar as he laughingly announces how they managed to exchange 200 EVMs in Maharajganj.

If this is proved in the investigation, then the election should be conducted again, rightfully and personally, EVMs should be removed and paper ballots used due to the level of corruption going on.
Last year, during the Assam elections, EC suspended 4 poll workers for ferrying EVMs in a BJP neta’s car.
In the 2019 elections, there were apparently peculiar EVM movements of their travel with allegations from Opposition parties that the EVMs were being switched while the Election Commission dismissed allegations. In fact, viral videos were shared of how EVMs were suspiciously being transported all over the country and many videos also showed how EVMs travel from strong room to poll booth and back.
By rule, once sealed, the strong room cannot be opened until the morning of counting day. If the strong room has to open before that for an inevitable reason, it can only be done in the presence of the candidate or a representative, who will be allowed to put their seals or locks again after the room is closed. These bizarre movements of the EVMs in 2019 was denied by the Election Commissioner, so nothing could be done.
Heavy cheating and discrepancies in the voter-verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT) are being reported as well. The mood in Uttar Pradesh is changing, gloomy, and dissatisfied with the present government, and residents in Varanasi are openly expressing that they do not want religious divisions and fights, want peace and unity, education, jobs, and prices to drop.
The results of the elections will be out on March 10th, a result that would declare the fate of the nation, which is why this is a very important election.
