Amid allegations of electoral manipulation in Mumbai, Rahul Gandhi has criticised Indian EVMs as "black boxes" in a tweet, questioning electoral transparency. Gandhi tweeted, "EVMs in India are a 'black box,' and nobody is allowed to scrutinize them. Serious concerns are being raised about transparency in our electoral process. Democracy ends up becoming a sham and prone to fraud when institutions lack accountability." This comes as a reaction to Elon Musk's tweet warning against EVMs due to hacking risks, a claim countered by former Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar defending the security of Indian EVMs. The controversy intensified after Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Waikar's brother-in-law was accused of manipulating EVMs using a mobile phone to unlock machines at the NESCO Centre on June 4. Elon Musk’s Statement on Eliminating EVMs From Voting Holds No Truth, He Can Learn From India, Says Rajeev Chandrasekhar.
