Verma asked, if Sri Lanka can hold parliamentary elections through ballot during the Covid pandemic and the voting percentage was 71 percent, then why can’t it be done in Madhya Pradesh?

In Lanka the elections were done through the ballot paper to prevent corona infection. The EVMs were not used in the elections because it can spread infection.
