In an open letter to the Election Commission of India, the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) expressed concerns over potential tampering in vote counting for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The SKM highlighted apprehensions based on prior grievances and urged the ECI to ensure a transparent process to maintain democratic integrity.

The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) has sent an open letter to the Election Commission of India, expressing concerns about potential tampering in the upcoming Lok Sabha election vote counting on June 4, 2024, and urging for a transparent process.

The SKM, known for leading protests against now-revoked farm laws, raised fears of manipulation aiming to benefit the current regime. They emphasized that their opposition stemmed from unmet promises regarding MSP and loan waivers, and attempts to reveal BJP's corporate policies.

The letter highlighted the SKM's role in advocating for farmers' rights and protecting democratic principles, while criticizing the BJP's actions during elections, including hate speech and violations of the Model Code of Conduct.
