The former Congress president also tagged the post on X by Elon Musk in which he talked about eliminating EVMs. &#8220;We should eliminate electronic voting machines. The risk of being hacked by humans or AI, while small, is still too high,&#8221; Musk had said in his post. The opposition parties have been raising concerns over EVMs for some time now and had demanded a 100 per cent count of the VVPAT slips which was not allowed.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18511\"
