    Where EVM don't get rigged people's mandate always respected.
    In Gujarat EVM transferred Congress vote to 'NOTA'. Unfortunately next will be Tripura where 25 years communist will end on 3rd of March. In Meghalaya once again 'operation Kamala' will win.

    These two seats are holding by Congress from 2004 onwards . Nothing to lose for BJP. Assembly and Parliament election BJP will win.
    Once again the EVM Machines are good if congress wins and they are tampered if BJP wins. -

    Dongis will now demand only these 2 EVMs to be used all over Karnataka. Such is their situation.

    What Jolt ? These two were congress seats before also in their bastion. Congratulations Dongis, enjoy" Retaining" the seats for few months .

    Real Jolt Wil come on MARCH 3rd for the Commies and Dongis when North East Counting starts. Dongis might already have started digging Rat holes to hide.

    As per Chanakya strategy, EVMs are programmed to lose the battles but to win the war so that no eyebrow will be raised.

    Dear Geoffrey, i agree with you 100%, This is only a drama by bjp and have lost the seats purposely to avoid comments from public. they did not malfunction EVM machine in these cases whereas they kept it for Parliamentary elections.

    bjp is not bothered to let lose small fishes whereas it is aiming in big fishes and that is the reason bjp is not agreeing to conduct election on ballot papers and forcing to use already pro-bjp programmed EVM machines.

    Its unfortunate that EC is dancing on the tunes of bjp. Daal me kuch kaala hai kya? Ya fir sub kuch hi kaala hai.

    My friend, usually in by elections the ruling party wins 9 out of 10. When the ruling party loses in by elections, it means it is in serious trouble. In spite of the entire Shiv Raj Singh chouhan ministry camping in these two constituencies and offering plenty of sops, the electorate still rejected the BJP.
