    Lets hope the new election commissioner will reintroduce the ballot papers in these elections given the repeated complaints of EVM Tampering in all the elections held in the past.

    The integrity of the EC is once again in question, which is expected to function independently without influence from any political parties.
    Facts- Draw your own conclusions.
    1. ECI announces a PC at 12.30 today to announce election dates to the 5 states.
    2. PM Modi is addressing a rally in Ajmer, Rajasthan at 1 PM today.
    3. ECI suddenly changes the time of announcement and PC to 3 PM. Independence of ECI?

    The model code of conduct would have kicked in with immediate effect had the EC gone ahead and announced the dates for assembly elections in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh at 12.30 pm. This would have prevented Modi from announcing any projects or other benefits targeting the voters.

    The EC’s alleged postponement of date announcement is believed to have been taken to help Modi.

    Lastly,
    1. Among these five states is VVPAT is going to used with every EVM machines?
    2. Why every election EVM malfunctions in between voting?
    3. How EVM are put test before its use in percentage?
    4. Why the EVM manufacturer and state issued inventory is not tallying?
    5. Why the VVPAT is counted in closed door which against principles of democracy, whereas ballot boxes counted in all party representative?
    6. How does autonomous Election Commison verify the candidates affidavit?

    Can you tell what project announced by MODI in Ajmer? If not your allegation is wrong. Regarding paper ballot why you did not complain in Karnataka? Or by pokes in UP?

    Mr. Prabhu, Karkala,
    We had British Christian Rastra, We had Mogul Muslim Rastra & Ashoka's Budihist Rastra. Hindu Rastra was a Mythology and in real term We never had Hindu Rastra (Due to our many casts, regions, cultures & Languages). We will never ever have Hindu Rastra unless all Hindus become one Cast and complete eridication of cast & religion based Reservation system and all get real western Civilized moral & ethical education.

    Hope that every EVM gets caliberated before getting to poll booths. If opposition shows laxity in attending this issue, then they are going dig their own grave. Trained and loyal party workers very important to ensure popular will, which is absolutely against Modi led BJP.

    Congress can easily win all the states considering BJP failure but this can happen only if RG does not lead congress. Else even alliance with other party will also not help congress.
