The Election Commission also patted its back while congratulating the voters for the successful elections in Jammu and Kashmir. Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir have made the celebration of democracy historic. By participating in large numbers they have laid a strong foundation for that democracy. The passion shown in these elections will be remembered for a long time. Now it is up to the people of Jammu and Kashmir to take this democratic journey forward.
He said that we are setting a new gold standard. There was no violence in Jammu-Kashmir and Haryana elections. Not a single shot was fired. Declining violence and increasing voting percentage indicate that more and more people are participating in voting in a peaceful environment. He said the lines from the song 'Kuch to log kahenge, log ka kaam hai kehna' in reference to the opposition's criticism of the Election Commission's impartiality in election scheduling and EVM tampering, among other things.
He hit out at various agencies for introspecting on exit polls being inaccurate. He said that the surveyors should check whether their sample size is wrong or there is some other mistake. He also said that the counting of votes starts at 8.30 in the morning but even before that, wrong trends of results start appearing on TV from 8 in the morning. This is also unfair. Many times it seems that such trends are indicated on the basis of exit polls. Which is often wrong. He said that we release the first trend on our website at 9.31 am. Even if a journalist is at the counting centre, how does he intend to send trends from nine in the morning? He also said that if the pager has been hacked then why not the EVMs, people are raising questions. But pagers are connected, EVMs are not connected anywhere.
