Amid the raging debate on Electronic Voting machines, Andhra Pradesh former chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said that ballot papers must replace EVMs to uphold the true spirit of democracy.
In a post shared on X.com, Jagan said that the shift towards paper ballots, as observed in many advanced democracies, is a step in the right direction.
“Just as justice should not only be served, but should also appear to have been served, so should democracy not only prevail but must appear to be prevalent undoubtedly.
In electoral practices across the world in almost every advanced democracy, paper ballots are used, not EVMs. We too must move towards the same in upholding the true spirit of our democracy,” he said.
