Lenin Raghuvanshi of civil society organisation Uttar Pradesh Election Watch says the credibility of the ECI has been negatively affected owing to the changing of data from time to time. This is the reason why people are now viewing the counting of votes "with suspicion", he feels.
Raghuvanshi also says the new government will have to work on changing the image of the ECI so democracy can remain strong in the future and ordinary people as well as political parties can maintain trust in the ECI.
Sanjay Singh of Association for Democratic Reform says people have doubts about the counting of votes, but this should not be the case, because it has a negative impact on the country's democracy. Explaining the reason for this scepticism, he says a perception has been created among voters that the BJP will win no matter who they vote for. Singh also says voters should not fear but trust the ECI, though he admits it is not wrong to keep an eye on the strong room. https://www.nationalheraldindia.com/national/uttar-pradesh-opposition-on-high-alert-as-counting-day-looms
