Joining the controversy regarding the reliablity of Electronic
Voting Machines (EVMs) which have been questioned by political parties,
the RSS today asked the Election Commission (EC) to revert back to tried
and tested paper ballots and subject EVMs to public scrutiny whether
these gadgets are tamper proof. In an editorial titled ‘Can we trust our
EVMs?’, The Organiser, the RSS mouthpiece, noted it was a fact that
till date an absolutely tamper-proof machine had not been invented and
credibility of any system depends on ‘transparency, verifiability and
trustworthiness’ than on blind and atavistic faith in its infallibility.

The issue is not a ‘private affair’ and it involves the future of
India. Even if the EVMs were genuine, there was no reason for the EC to
be touchy about it, the paper commented. The Government and the EC can’t
impose EVMs as a fait accompli on Indian democracy as the only option
before the voter. There were flaws like booth capturing, rigging, bogus
voting, tampering and ballot paper snatching in the ballot paper system
of polling leading the country to switch over to the EVMs and all these
problems were relevant in EVMs too. Rigging was possible even at the
counting stage. What made the ballot papers voter-friendly was that all
aberrations were taking place before the public eye and hence open for
corrections whereas the manipulations in the EVMs is entirely in the
hands of powers that be and the political appointees manning the sytem,
the paper commented. The EVM has only one advantage — ’speed’ but that
advantage has been undermined by the staggered polls at times spread
over three to four months. ‘’This has already killed the fun of the
election process,’’ the paper noted. Of the dozen General Elections held
in the country, only two were through the EVMs and instead of
rationally addressing the doubts aired by reputed institutions and
experts the Government has resorted to silence its critics by
‘intimidation and arrests on false charges’, the paper observed,
recalling the arrest of Hyederabad-based technocrat Hari Prasad by the
Mumbai Police. Prasad’s research has proved that the EVMs were
‘vulnerable to fraud’. The authorities want to send a message that
anybody who challenges the EC runs the risk of persecution and
harassment, the RSS observed. Most countries around the world looked at
the EVMs with suspicion and countries like the Netherlands, Italy,
Germany and Ireland had all reverted back to paper ballots shunning EVMs
because they were ‘easy to falsify, risked eavesdropping and lacked
transparency’. Democracy is too precious to be handed over to whims or
an opaque establishment and network of unsafe gizmos. ‘’For the health
of Indian democracy it is better to return to tried and tested methods
or else elections in future can turn out to be a farce,’’ the editorial said.

The new gimmick of ‘one nation, one election’ is a BJP’s .. ploy to
win the Lok Sabha and assembly elections by a single .. ‘dhandhli’
(manipulation): Mayawati . She said the BJP’s victory is “unexpected and
against the people’s mandate”, which is not possible without “planned
manipulation and conspiracy” BSP chief Mayawati on Sunday opposed the
BJP’s “one nation, .. one election” idea aimed at having simultaneous
Lok Sabha and state assembly polls, saying it is the saffron party’s
ploy to win all elections through one-time “manipulation” of EVMs.

Mayawati hurled the allegation, describing even .. the BJP landslide
victory in the last Lok Sabha election as .. “doubtful”. “It will put
the nation in an era of casteism making it free .. from any opposition,”
she added, addressing a party meeting ..convened to discuss the
purported “national concern” over the alleged “hijacking” of the
democracy via EVMs here. .. “If there is no manipulation in the BJP’s
victory and if it has the majority votes by its side, why is the party
shying .. away from going to the people and avoiding elections through
..
ballots?” a BSP statement quoted her as asking.

The meeting was also attended by the BSP’s representatives from
.. other states, who alleged that the Election Commission was working on
directions of the BJP (Brashtachar Jhoothe Psychopaths)and the Murderer
of democratic institutions & Master of diluting institutions (Modi)
“The way the EC ( Election Criminals) bowed before Modi also gives rise
to the apprehension over the free and fair polls in
the country and weakening of the democracy,” she alleged and demanded that “constitutional bodies should find solution to ..
the people’s concern”.

She said the BJP’s victory is “unexpected and against the
people’s mandate”, which is not .. possible without a “planned
manipulation and conspiracy”.

The BSP supremo demanded that elections in India be held .. through ballot papers in future.

“All the main opposition political parties are of the view that
elections should be held through ballot papers but the BJP and the EC
are againt it, which has created uneasiness in the country,” she said ..

Mayawati also questioned the BJP’s keenness on having simultaneous
Lok Sabha and assembly elections. “If the BJP is so keen on one nation,
one poll, why didn’t it hold the assembly elections in states like
Haryana and Maharashtra .. with the Lok Sabha polls.

She asked party workers to deal with discrepancies in functioning of
EVMs during upcoming .. polls and emphasised upon them to stick to the
party’s “brotherhood formula” successfully tested in the 2007 Uttar
Pradesh assembly polls to ensure that the party’s base remains intact.

In the meeting, Mayawati also took stock of the party’s readiness
for the upcoming assembly elections in Haryana and Maharashtra.
