Rajeev Chandrasekhar Highlights India's EVM Security In Response To Musk's Critique

Billionaire tech magnate Elon Musk has triggered yet another controversy by questioning the credibility of electronic voting machines (EVMs). In a tweet, Musk suggested eliminating EVMs, citing concerns about their susceptibility to hacking. His comments, reacting to recent polls in Puerto Rico, have added fuel to the ongoing debate over the security and reliability of EVMs, a hot topic among opposition parties and activists. Rajeev Chandrasekhar, who served as Minister of State for the IT Ministry in Modi Cabinet 2.0, swiftly countered Musk's claims. In a social media exchange, Chandrasekhar defended the integrity of Indian EVMs, asserting they are unhackable. He even extended an offer to Musk for a tutorial on the robustness of India's voting machines. This online spat has intensified the broader discourse on EVM security between the opposition and the BJP, highlighting the polarizing views on electronic voting systems and their role in modern elections
