New Delhi:

After the ruling NDA took an initial lead from the grand alliance in polling trends for Bihar, Congressional Leader Udit Raj on Tuesday raised questions about the reliability of EVMs and asked why they can’t be hacked if satellites can be controlled from the ground.

He also asked if Donald Trump could have lost in the US elections if EVM had been used.

“If the direction of the satellites to Mars and the Moon can be controlled from the ground, then why can’t EVM be hacked?” Udit Raj said in a Hindi tweet.

“If the elections had been held in the United States with EVM, Trump could have lost,” he asked.

Dalit leader Udit Raj is the national spokesperson for the Congress party. He was a former BJP deputy from Delhi.

In another tweet, he took a hit at the BJP, saying he has been able to sideline Nitish Kumar with his performance in Bihar.

Initial trends in Bihar showed that the NDA took the lead in electing the 243-member assembly.

The BJP seemed set to outperform its senior alliance partner JD (U), led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, according to trends available so far.

Several exit polls had predicted the victory of the Mahagathbandhan of the RJD, Congress and left-wing parties.
