Lucknow, Nov. 13 -- Backing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's allegation that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was having his phone tapped, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Friday said that phones and modern technology could not be trusted in the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Yadav also alleged large-scale manipulation of voter lists, claiming that 1.27 crore names had been removed from electoral rolls and that votes belonging to the Samajwadi Party were being deleted.

"One should not trust the technology of today. In the age of AI, anything is possible," Yadav said, referring to Rahul Gandhi's allegation. He added that a leader who was no longer alive had once spoken about their phones being tapped.
