'Voters created a world record, now elections will be held in Jammu and Kashmir' - EC claims

Election Commission: The Election Commission is holding a press conference today, a day before the counting of the Lok Sabha election votes. Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar said, 'Memes have been made on us on social media, there are many tags like missing gentleman... We will try to answer all the questions that happened during the seven phases... This time we have made a world record... 64.2 crore people voted, out of which 31.2 crore women have voted.'

The commission praised those who provided services in the election program. Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar said, 'We tried our best throughout the election that there should not be any false statement against any woman... If this happened, we issued strict instructions... This time a lot of votes were cast in Jammu and Kashmir... 51.05 percent voting took place in the valley... Now we will conduct elections in Jammu and Kashmir, when we went to conduct the survey, you had asked, today I am answering.'

Election Commission made history

The Lok Sabha elections were held in seven phases, which started on April 19 and ended on June 1. Perhaps this is the first time that the Election Commission is going to organize a press conference after the voting is over.

Press conference before counting

A day before the counting of votes for the Lok Sabha elections on June 4, the Election Commission is going to hold a press conference in Delhi today at 12.30 pm. This will probably be the first time in the electoral history of the country that the Election Commission has called a press conference after the end of the election.

Jairam Ramesh made the allegation

Earlier on Sunday, the Election Commission had sought factual information and details from Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh for his public statement through a post on his social media handle, alleging that Union Home Minister Amit Shah had called 150 district magistrates just a few days ago. The Election Commission has sought a reply from Jairam Ramesh for further necessary action. Voting for the seven-phase marathon process for the Lok Sabha elections, which began on April 19, ended on Saturday (June 1).

Exit polls predict NDA government

Exit polls have predicted that the ruling BJP-led NDA is set to perform better than its 2019 record when it won 352 seats. Two surveys predicted that the BJP has also improved its tally from the 303 seats it won in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. If the exit poll predictions about the BJP returning to power during the counting of votes on June 4 prove true, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will become the only PM after Jawaharlal Nehru to win three consecutive Lok Sabha elections.
