"Whenever Congress wins, then there is no discussion of EVM and VVPAT. When they won in Himachal Pradesh, did they oppose EVMs? Whenever the opposition loses, they blame the EVMs," he said.
"All these allegations are baseless. It is just their character. I hope we will win more than 400 seats. PM Narendra Modi will be the PM for the 3rd time. The BJP has done the work in the nation. They have increased the number of airports, highways, medical colleges, etc. That's why people support PM Modi," he added.
