"Smooth and fair voting is the biggest responsibility of the Election Commission," he added. 

चुनाव आयोग से अपील है और साथ ही ये अपेक्षा है कि जहां भी EVM ख़राब होने या जानबूझकर मतदान धीमे कराए जाने के आरोप लग रहे हैं, उन मतदान केंद्रों पर वो तत्काल यथोचित कार्रवाई करे।

‘सुचारू और निष्पक्ष मतदान’ चुनाव आयोग की सबसे बड़ी ज़िम्मेदारी है।@ECISVEEPpic.twitter.com/FK6nab7i52
