EC failed to provide substantive response to 'genuine concerns' over EVMs: Jairam Ramesh

IndiaTimes Monday, 8 January 2024
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh criticizes the Election Commission for not addressing concerns over EVMs and VVPATs. Ramesh wrote a letter to Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar expressing disappointment with the Commission's response. He requested an appointment to discuss the usage of VVPATs, but the Commission directed him to generic FAQs instead. Ramesh argues that the Commission's refusal to engage with political parties on EVMs and VVPATs is a matter of concern. He also points out that judicial orders do not prevent the Commission from meeting with political parties to discuss these issues.

Rahul Gandhi's First Reaction on Exit Polls 2024 Goes Viral | Moose Wala's '295' [Video]

Rahul Gandhi's First Reaction on Exit Polls 2024 Goes Viral | Moose Wala's '295'

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Sunday dismissed exit poll predictions, which projected a landslide victory for the BJP-NDA. He did so while making a reference to late Punjabi singer and rapper Sidhu Moosewala's song '295'. Following a party meeting, Rahul Gandhi was asked by reporters about the exit poll projections and how many seats he thinks the INDIA alliance would secure. "Sidhu Moose Wala ka song suna hai aapne? (Have you heard the song by Sidhu Moosewala?). 295," he said. The former Congress President, who is contesting both Wayanad and Raebareli in the Lok Sabha elections 2024, further termed the exit poll forecasts "Modi-media poll". "This is not an exit poll. This is a Modi-media poll," he told reporters. Most exit polls have forecast 136 seats for the INDIA bloc, and 379 for the BJP-headed NDA. The predictions also said that the saffron side is likely to make significant inroads in the South and cause massive upsets in Bengal and Odisha. Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh also rubbished the exit poll predictions, calling them "fake" and saying the INDIA alliance is not going below the 295-mark #ExitPoll2024 #JairamRamesh #RahulGandhi #INDIAAlliance #AmitShah #ExitPoll2024live #ExitPolls2024 #ExitPollResults2024 #ExitPollLive #ExitPollResultsLive #LokSabhaElection2024 #LokSabha2024 #LokSabhaResultLive #LoksabhaExitPoll2024Live #BJP #BJPvsCongress #Congress #NarendraModi #RahulGandhi #LatestNews #BreakingNews #LiveNews #Elections2024 ~HT.99~PR.152~ED.102~

Elon Musk advised against using electronic voting machines (EVMs) due to hacking risks, sparking debates on their security amid irregularities in Puerto Rico's primaries. However, India defended its third-generation M3 EVMs as tamper-proof, with no connectivity and oversight from IIT experts and the Election Commission.

Modi 3.0: Narendra Modi Takes Dig At The Opposition Over EVMs, Says Their Mouth Were Shut On June 4 [Video]

Modi 3.0: Narendra Modi Takes Dig At The Opposition Over EVMs, Says Their Mouth Were Shut On June 4

At a recent event, Prime Minister Narendra Modi recounted the events of June 4th, the day election results were announced. "When results were coming out on 4th June, I was busy with work. Phone calls started coming in later. I asked someone, "numbers are fine, tell me EVM zinda hai ki mar gaya," Modi said, referring to the opposition's continuous scepticism about Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). Modi accused the opposition of trying to undermine faith in India's democratic process. "These people (Opposition) had decided to ensure that people stop believing in democracy and democratic process of India. They continuously abused EVM," he remarked. He mocked the opposition's stance, suggesting that they were silenced by the results. "I thought they would take out the funeral procession of the EVM. But by the evening of 4th June, unko taale lag gaye. EVM ne unko chup kar diya," he said, emphasising the robustness and fairness of India's democracy. Modi expressed his hope that the controversy over EVMs would subside, at least for the next few years. "I hope I won't hear about EVM for 5 years. But when we go into 2029, perhaps they will again harp about EVM," he predicted, concluding with a strong statement: "The country will never forgive them." #loksabharesult #PMModi #EVMs #INDIA #RahulGandhi #Modi3.0 #ModiNitishKumar #SP #AkhileshYadavGovernment #SamajwadiPartyUP #UttarPradesh #AyodhyaResults #TejashwiYadav #NitishKumarJD(U) #SarkaarBanegi #NitishKumar #TejashwiNitishViralVideo #JD(U) #INDIAAlliance #Bihar #NitishKumar #TejashwiYadavNitishKumar #MallikarjunKharge #CongressPressConference #RahulGandhi #Modi #Adani #StockMarket #CongressPressConference #Congress #CongressCelebrations #RahulGandhi #SP #UPResult #AkhileshYadav #loksabharesult2024 #electionresulttoday #2024elections ~HT.318~
