EVM Hacking

Congress and its allies, led by Rahul Gandhi, have consistently spread falsehoods about Election Commission since PM Modi assumed office, in an effort to displace him.

Rahul Gandhi has already started preparing excuses for any loss in the upcoming Bihar elections saying that the election process is rigged, and a repeat of Maharashtra will be seen in Bihar.

The Supreme Court dismissed Dr KA Paul’s PIL seeking a return to ballot paper voting, refuting claims of EVM tampering and questioning the petitioner’s motives.

"The public answers the questions by participating in the voting. As far as EVMs are concerned, they are 100% secure and foolproof," Kumar said. This notably comes on the day when the Commission is about to announce the dates of elections scheduled to happen in the states of Maharashtra and Jharkhand.

"If so many questions are being raised on EVM, after these elections processes, Election Commission should come forward and place the EVM (before people) - that come and try to hack it in the presence of security in a hall. Who is uploading programming in the EVM? Election Commission. You don't give the same programming to the candidates," Pratap Singh Khachariyawas told ANI.

It is extremely crucial to put complete information in the public domain to help voters make up their minds on the authenticity of allegations leveled against EVMs whenever opposition parties lose an election.

Ajit Anjum has now said that PM Modi had doubted the EVMs in the past. On 3rd January, Ajit Anjum shared a fact check that showed how such allegations against Modi are false.

Opposition leaders must learn to accept defeat and respect the electorate choice instead of spinning yarns about EVMs

Fear mongering around EVM and VVPAT has resurfaced on social media thanks to Prashant Bhushan.

In 2017, Opindia had reported how BBC deliberately shared a 2010 article about alleged EVM hacking after BJP swept Uttar Pradesh polls in 2017.
