But today, look at the power of the country’s democracy and Baba Saheb Ambedkar’s Constitution, today the Supreme Court has given such a severe blow to those who intended to loot the ballot boxes that all their dreams have been shattered.
“Today, when the whole world is praising India’s democracy, India’s election process, and the use of technology in elections, then these people were busy defaming EVM for their personal interests. They have continuously tried to betray democracy,” he added.
