Hold elections on ballot paper if people doubt EVMs: Uddhav Thackeray

Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday called for elections to be held using ballot papers if people have doubts about the process and suggested that the Election Commissioner should also be elected by the people.

"The issue of 'One Nation, One Election' should come later. First, the election of the Election Commissioner should be conducted. If the President can be elected, why not the Election Commissioner? If people have doubts about EVMs, those doubts must be addressed. Let voting happen using ballot papers once. If the same majority is achieved, no one will question it again," Uddhav Thackeray said during a press conference in Nagpur.
