'Not machines, but machinery': Tharoor differs from Kharge on EVMs, highlights systemic issues
Thursday, 28 November 2024 Shashi Tharoor disagreed with his party's view on electronic voting machines. He defended the machines but worried about potential misuse in elections. Tharoor suggested the Election Commission should address these concerns. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge wants paper ballots. The BJP won big in Maharashtra, while the opposition struggled.

The Maharashtra Assembly elections once again spotlighted the opposition’s habit of blaming EVMs when results don’t favor them. In Solapur's Markadwadi village, NCP(SP) supporters, upset over BJP’s Ram Satpute leading locally despite Uttamrao Jankar’s overall win, planned an illegal ballot “re-election.” Authorities rightly shut it down, calling it anti-democratic. Ironically, EVMs—introduced by Congress—are now their scapegoat. Locals dismissed the rhetoric, crediting Satpute’s development work, with one saying, “He earned his votes, no tampering needed.”

Elon Musk took to X (formerly Twitter) to praise India's efficient and swift vote-counting process, contrasting it with the delays faced by California in finalising its election results. In his post, Musk highlighted how India, with its electronic voting machines (EVMs) and voter verifiable paper audit trails (VVPATs), was able to count a staggering 640 million votes in a single day during the recent elections. This stands in stark contrast to California, which has been struggling to count votes nearly 20 days after the election, largely due to complicated mail-in ballot procedures and decentralised local election systems. Musk emphasised the scalability and efficiency of India's centralised election oversight, led by the Election Commission, while criticising the slow and cumbersome system in California. His comments have sparked debate on the effectiveness of different electoral systems, with many praising India's handling of large-scale elections.

Reacting to the CAG report on the money spent on renovating the Delhi chief minister's residence,' AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh on Monday said BJP speaking about corruption was like 'Osama Bin Laden preaching non-violence.'
Singh was responding to BJP questioning Arvind Kejriwal on the source of funds used for the renovation. BJP has termed the CM's residence as Kejriwal's 'Sheeshmahal.'

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging his reliance on a teleprompter during speeches. In a viral video from a recent rally in Rohini, shared by AAP, the Prime Minister is seen pausing mid-speech, which the party claims was due to a teleprompter malfunction. AAP took a dig with the caption, “Like BJP in Delhi, Modi Ji's teleprompter also failed.” The exchange has added fuel to the ongoing political rivalry, with PM Modi firing back at AAP during the rally, accusing the Kejriwal-led government of failing Delhi and branding it an "AAP-da" (disaster). The political spat underscores the heated battle for Delhi’s governance.
