Daijiworld Media Network – Vijayapura (DC)

Vijayapura, May 21: Amid allegations of EVM tampering, 8 voter verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT) machines were found in a labourer's shanty in Vijayapura on May 20.

The Bengaluru police, who have registered a case in this regard, have seized the VVPAT machines without batteries from the makeshift shed meant for national highway workers at Managuli village in Basavanabagewadi taluk.

"We have seized eight VVPATs without batteries from the house of a labourer in Vijayapura. A case has been registered; investigation will be conducted," police said.

Karnataka chief election officer Sanjiv Kumar said, "Eight covers of VVPATs were found from a shed in Vijayapura district. Labourers were using the cover as box to keep their clothes. Deputy Commissioner is on the spot and we are verifying further facts. There is no machine there."

Soon after the information went viral, Basavanabagewadi election officer Durugesh Rudrakshi and Managoli police rushed to the spot. Vijayapura Congress candidate Abdul Hameed Mushrif who lost the assembly elections too visited the house.

Deputy commissioner S B Shettennavar has assured of taking action in this regard.

    Mumbai RTI activist Manoranjan S Roy — who painstakingly pursued the matter for nearly a year — said the RTI responses may have severe repercussions on the conduct of free, fair and credible elections in the country.

    RTI reveals contradictory numbers of EVMs from Election Commission, suppliers; raise question mark on polls
    Used in India since 1989, the EVMs — comprising a Balloting Unit (BU) and a Control Unit (CU), and recently, Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) — are currently manufactured by only two PSUs Electronics Corp of India Ltd (ECIL) in Hyderabad and Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) in Bengaluru.

    Roy's RTI queries revealed that from 1989-90 till May 15, 2017, the Election Commission procured a total of 1,005,662 BUs and 928,049 CUs from BEL, plus another 1,014,644 BUs and 934,031 CUs from ECIL.
    An RTI query to the Union Ministry of Law and Justice showed that the government received intimation of purchase of 1,395,306 BUs and 930,716 CUs in 2016-17.

    BEL said on 9 June, 2017, that it supplied 125,000 CUs and 190,000 BUs to EC, from 2010 to 2017.

    ECIL said it provided 222,925 BUs and 211,875 CUs to EC from 2010 to 2017, and another 497,348 BUs and 307,030 CUs for the same period.
    On the questions of payments too, major discrepancies came out in the figures from 2006-07 to 2016-17.

    Against the EC's "actual expenditure" of Rs 5,360,175,485 (spent) on EVMs, the BEL RTI reply said it received from EC a payment of Rs 6,525,644,000 — a difference (excess) of Rs 116.55 crore.

    1. BEL said in its reply that, till 2005, its EVMs had a capacity of 3,824 voters which was later reduced to 2,000 from 2006. At present, their EVMs have capacity for only 16 candidates. "There is absolutely no logic or standardisation applied. Who authorised these design changes,"?
    2. When was the last audit done by ECI for EVM?
    3. Why no cases being pursued to recover the missing EVM?

    If BJP could tamper EVM's so easily, won't they have atleast won by a single majority? Let us use our brains for once and keep religious and political hatred aside when we make comments and show support or take decisions. When I read few comments here I wonder what has happened to people these days. Politicians have divided us so smartly that we are fighting against each other in the name of political parties, caste, religion and god knows what! News channels too either support one party or the other. Majority of their news are either for or against one particular party.

    For anyone who knows basic programming principles insert a IF...THEN...ELSE....loop after reaching a certain arbitrary number according to your estimate of how many votes a candidate can muster. Anything above that credit to BJP candidate account.
    I completed my E&C in 1987. Pursued my career in a different field. So don't ask me to program it now. I know it can be done. Enough bright young minds there who can prove my words.

    Tampering is always selective. The thief never raids all houses but those where they can find booty. They play with those machines where they are certain of losing. Why they should touch those EVM's where they are certain of winning? But calculations can go wrong. Whoever is BJP's consultant might have been already shown the door for falling short in their win or might have been already eliminated! A very famous company from Canada approached India to sell their technology which is extremely difficult to play with as it has gone through stringent certification and approval process in several states of USA. Our election bureaucrats wanted the source code to re-program it the way they wanted it so, the company refused to sell the technology. Speaks volumes on our integrity. Correct? If there is one department which should face the firing squad in India, it is the current Election Commissioner and his office and switch over to Ballot voting.

    Without EVM BJP is like gasless SODA...

    Why BJP is so keen on using EVM. How long chanakya will fool and make fun of entire India...
    Despite all efforts why ECI still enforcing to use EVM...
    These EVM uses microcontrollers .. There are thousand ways to cheat this for an engineer... Many well demonstrated even in parliament... We still dont understand why BJP is so keen ..
    What makes them feel so confidence on these machines... Before election result only they declare results....
    We indians are fooled by these chores.. We all should unite and fight for the justice....
    We need ballot paper based election....

    organise elections without EMV, because everyone knows how modi is playing with it's results.
    that's the reason yeddyurappa was sure he will win elections and become cm.
    in next elections for 2018, organise elections without EMV, then BJP will never win. Shivsena is right in this regards.

    Sorry Mohammed, I still do not know how Modi is playing with EVM results. Would you mind explaining it to me LOGICALLY (mere BJP victory is not a logical evidence).

    And based on your argument:
    (a) Is Modi & his team intellectually so smart that they are able to pull off this hi-tech EVM tampering without even a single trail of evidence? OR
    (b) Are they so dumb so as to leave the EVM machine covers with few labourers for the household usage?

    With digital devices, a user who knows the simple operations does not have to be "smart".

    Just as a remote control sends messages to the TV or a mobile phone receives text messages, any digital device can be prepared (by the manufacturer) to receive special codes. These special codes can then activate/deactivate something.

    So, knowing the right instructions, a dumb user can send the right codes.

    But other observers, even if rocket scientists, can not see what message-exchange is taking place.

    Then why didn’t any of the not-so-smart operators showed up at the ECI’s doors last year when the opportunity was given to demonstrate the same? My friend, the EVM machine neither has a TV system nor a mobile system that you could just simply send some codes over the wifi or remote control and expect the machine to dance to your tunes. The circuitry in the EVM simply does not have the ability to receive any external message.

    If you keep your anti-BJP biased view aside and think logically, you will realise that most of the EVMs that are being used in the last four years were in fact manufactured long before BJP came to power. Did BJP start the tampering program even before they came to power??

    You can accuse BJP of seeking votes on religious grounds; you can accuse them of using money power to form Governments; but EVM tampering is far too hi-tech for the likes of BJP workers.

    Even when Congress and JDS themselves have admitted defeat in relation to the number of seats they contested, why are you pointing figures at the BJP? Where is the EVIDENCE?

    rampanna,
    this is what the reason,
    whoever speak against modi and his chelas, he use govt forces like IT departments and all against him, so modi creates fear among truth speaker, interms of threatening their families and offering bribe.
    even he raid media offices if they speak truth against him.
    modi have blind bhakts who are getting daily basis wages to create all these rucks.
    even modi deal with governor, who is offering yeddy and party 15 days for trust votes, when yeddy asks only 7 days to prove. or else governor will become anti-national and after 2 days IT will raid his house and starts mental torture to him.
    but wait and watch all evil act has an end.
