The United State on Wednesday said that it has confidence in the fairness and integrity of the elections in India and would work with the winner. Though the political parties in India raising doubts on the election process, EVM machines, Election Commission and other institutions but the US has put its faith in the fairness of the election process of India. 

 

State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus said, "I would say from the US perspective, we are very confident in the fairness and the integrity of the Indian elections, and we will obviously work with whoever is the victor and whatever the outcome is there". Unlike other countries, the US does not send its election observers to India because of the strong independent credentials of the Election Commission of India.

 

 

 

 

"We have a very strong relationship and a lot of co-operation with the Indian government on a full range of issues, and the Secretary (of State, Mike Pompeo) has said numerous times that we have a true strategic partner in India," Ms Ortagus said. The diplomat praised India and its people for carrying out such a massive exercise peacefully, describing it as fascinating. she said, "Someone pointed this out to me today that India's election is the largest exercise in democracy in human history". She added, "I think with everything going on in the world, that's a thing that we can pause and think about and certainly commend the Indian people".
