WB polls: EVMs found at TMC leader residence, ECI assures action
In a shocking incident, the EVMs and VVPATs were found at the residence of a TMC leader in Uluberia at Howrah district of West Bengal amid Assembly elections.
According to Election Commission of India (ECI), "The Sector Officer has been suspended in the matter.
It was a reserved EVM that has been removed from the election process and severe action will be taken against all involved.
ECI stated, "Tapan Sarkar, sector officer of Sector 17 in AC 177 Uluberia Uttar at Howrah district, went with Reserve EVM and slept at a relative's house.
This is a gross violation of EC's instructions for which he has been suspended and charges will be framed for major punishment.
The Sector Police attached to Sector Officer has also been directed to be suspended.
The said EVM and VVPAT have been taken out of the stock and shall not be used in the polls.
General Observer Neeraj Pawan has checked the intactness of all seals.
These EVMs have now been stored in a separate room in Observer's custody."
Samajwadi Party MP Akhilesh Yadav has reiterated his lack of confidence in Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), stating that he did not trust them yesterday, does not trust them today, and would still not trust them even if he were to win all 80 seats. His remarks underscore ongoing concerns about the integrity and reliability of EVMs in India's electoral process, signalling persistent scepticism within the political landscape regarding electoral transparency and fairness.

Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, joining the EVM debate once again, has voiced serious concerns about the transparency and accountability of India's electronic voting machines (EVMs), referring to them as a “black box” and citing a recent controversy involving the Mumbai North West Lok Sabha seat.

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. The Supreme Court issued directives to further strengthen EVM security while rejecting demands for 100% VVPAT verification.

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."

Calling the 2024 Lok Sabha election results "the biggest step to protect India's Constitution", Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said that the country has said it does not want Prime Minister Narendra Modi to "run the country". In a press conference in New Delhi, Gandhi said, "This was a fight to save the Constitution of the country and has emerged victorious in it. The country has said that they do not want Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah to run the country." According to data from the Election Commission (EC), Gandhi was leading on both the seats he was fighting on, Wayanad and Rae Bareli. In Rae Bareli, he was ahead of BJP's Dinesh Pratap Singh by 389,341 votes. In Wayanad, Gandhi was declared winner with a margin of 364,422 votes.

Celebrations outside Congress headquarters in Delhi. As per official ECI trends, Congress is leading on 95 seats and INDIA bloc has crossed 200.

A party or a coalition needs to win at least 272 of the 543 Lok Sabha seats to be in power at the centre. With one seat, Surat already decided in NDA's kitty unopposed, votes for 542 seats will be counted today. Narendra Modi will be the first Prime Minister after Jawaharlal Nehru to win three straight terms, if the NDA emerges victorious under his leadership in the Lok Sabha Elections 2024.

Recent bypolls across seven Indian states resulted in significant gains for the opposition INDIA bloc, which won 10 out of 13 assembly seats.
