Speaking at the NDTV 'Indian of the Year Awards 2024', Mr Kumar said even though conducting the elections can be logistically challenging, the voters of the country are capable of resolving all issues peacefully.
The ability to praise or see the positives is on a decline, noted Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Rajiv Kumar, adding that the trend of criticism (ninda ras), on the other hand, is on the rise. The comment comes in the backdrop of the Opposition's questions over the voting machines.
Speaking at the NDTV 'Indian of the Year Awards 2024' on Friday, Mr Kumar said even though conducting the elections can be logistically challenging, the voters of the country are capable of resolving all issues in a peaceful manner.
"What surprises me, positively, is the resilience of the Indian voter... this country can resolve all its issues peacefully through the ballot, not the bullet... This is the biggest satisfaction," he said.
