Elon Musk advised against using electronic voting machines (EVMs) due to hacking risks, sparking debates on their security amid irregularities in Puerto Rico's primaries. However, India defended its third-generation M3 EVMs as tamper-proof, with no connectivity and oversight from IIT experts and the Election Commission. The Supreme Court issued directives to further strengthen EVM security while rejecting demands for 100% VVPAT verification.

At a recent event, Prime Minister Narendra Modi recounted the events of June 4th, the day election results were announced. "When results were coming out on 4th June, I was busy with work. Phone calls started coming in later. I asked someone, "numbers are fine, tell me EVM zinda hai ki mar gaya," Modi said, referring to the opposition's continuous scepticism about Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs).
Modi accused the opposition of trying to undermine faith in India's democratic process. "These people (Opposition) had decided to ensure that people stop believing in democracy and democratic process of India. They continuously abused EVM," he remarked. He mocked the opposition's stance, suggesting that they were silenced by the results. "I thought they would take out the funeral procession of the EVM. But by the evening of 4th June, unko taale lag gaye. EVM ne unko chup kar diya," he said, emphasising the robustness and fairness of India's democracy. Modi expressed his hope that the controversy over EVMs would subside, at least for the next few years. "I hope I won't hear about EVM for 5 years. But when we go into 2029, perhaps they will again harp about EVM," he predicted, concluding with a strong statement: "The country will never forgive them."

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor says, "... Budget of health and education ministries have been reduced, so I asked them the reason. There is no politics in this. Two states have been given favourable treatment to satisfy their coalition partners. We know this is how it works and we also have the right to protest against it... I am happy for the people of Bihar for getting such a generous package. It is a very big deal... 3 Congress and 1 DMK Chief Minister said they would not attend the NITI Aayog meeting because there was nothing for their states in the budget... Maybe Mamata Banerjee has an issue which she wants to discuss..."

The Congress party has scripted a comeback story, almost doubling its 2019 tally, as it leads in at least 97 seats and claims victory in Jalandhar. The power fight by the INDIA bloc was also led by the Samajwadi Party, which currently has the highest number of leads (35) in Uttar Pradesh. The stakes are high for the Opposition, which has consolidated into the INDIA bloc, and is looking to upset the NDA’s tally. The Opposition has dismissed the exit poll predictions, reposing its faith in “people’s polls”.As of 2.50 pm, in a neck-and-neck fight, the NDA was leading in 290 seats, while the INDIA bloc was ahead in 234. An interesting trend to note is the Congress’s performance in Rajasthan, where it looks set to end its dry run. It is currently leading in eight seats out of 25 seats. In Haryana, too, the Congress is looking at a comeback, having lost all seats to the BJP in 2019. Out of 10 Lok Sabha seats, the Congress is consistently leading on six seats in Haryana.
