This week, Newslaundry’s Abhinandan Sekhri, Raman Kirpal, and Anand Vardhan are joined by political analyst Suhas Palshikar, tech expert Madhav Deshpande, and professor Shruti Kapila.
On the robustness of the election voting machines, Suhas Palshikar says EVMs have “definitely lost the credibility that they initially had”. He cites Lokniti-CSDS data. Madhav says “major technological change” in 2013, with the introduction of VVPAT has made EVMs a “different beast”.
The panel then discusses the BJP’s poll promises. Shruti says the BJP manifesto is “very weird” and that “it wants to lower the temperature on Hindutva”. Anand calls it the manifesto of a party that is “very sure of a renewed mandate”, unlike the Congress manifesto, which is trying to “tick too many boxes”.
This and a whole lot more. Tune in!

Not only EVM but judiciary too lost credibility.

[@chachasingh4864]

then how congress won karnataka , Telangana. Haa 2023 meri state voting hui toh sirf bjp dikh raha tha?

When voting happens in Kerala, Telangana, West Bengal, EVM suddenly becomes full credibility. Similarly, when Judiciary shut down electoral bond, scold Patanjali fiercely, Judiciary suddenly becomes full of credibility. Right? Hypocrisy ki bhi seema hotihai

[@ajey7823]

Do you guys hold Anand against his will? At a gunpoint or something? Especially when Abhinandhan cracks a joke on BJP, Anand's expression's worth watching 😂

[@VikhyatChauhan]

Correct, he always seems on edge and disappointed even his responses sound like he’s bored and annoyed to be here.

That is a part of Anands charm

यह सच है वोटिंग में इस्तेमाल कंट्रोल यूनिट काउंटिंग में आसानी से बदल कर उसकी जगह दूसरी पहले से भरी कंट्रोल यूनिट से परिणाम बता कर चुनाव जिताया जाता है, किसको जिताया जाता है जनता जानती है। बस दूसरी वाली कंट्रोल यूनिट पर पहले वाली की सेम स्लिप नंबर चिपका दो, पहले वाले को गायब कर दो

[@aryabhat_online]

Great initiative by your team. Somebody has spine. Court is not accepting the fact that EVM can be tempered. This fight need to be on road. Don't know how many life's will be lost in this inquilab.

Go ahead start inquilab give your life 🤣😂😂

I loved the clarity with which Mr Suhas n Mr Madhav spoke . They made it very simple for a lay person to understand. Abhinandans voice n sense of humour, both i laooooooo! Not to mention i have a thing for bearded men! 🤩😅

I think this loss of trust portrays deeper trust issues that people have in the country itself.

[@lvjayashree9718]

Do hope these experts speak to SC on the possibilities of manipulation.

[@arundsouza2249]

Awesome program

[@shahidahmad207]

Dear citizens just keep in mind that even after the SC gives the judgment in favour of counting the 100% VVPAT slips after voting has been done, it's of no use because along with counting the 100% of slips it is necessary to make sure that VVPAT slip is cutting and falling into the box during every vote, which is not possible with the ECI's current arrangements of black glass and short duration of light. Why SC reserved its judgment at the critical time when elections are going on across the country.

[@lalrintluanga1276]

i wish there was a team for mizoram, i feel that there is a lot the country can learn from mizoram

[@Humanonly.]

SC, EC, Govt official they all know BJP can get Mandate with only EVM not by ballet paper😂

[@jec_ecart]

Still the voting is going on with these useless machines? 😢

[@wolfangssgaming]

I voted yesterday and the thing people are saying chit isn't shown getting cut, but I clearly saw the chit getting cut, is there a difference in every state or? I totally understand the mismatch thing, there could definitely be something done to EVM as not every machine gets checked?

[@thetypewriterbtch8763]

Guys can you please make a short video on how NRIs can vote through online platform?

Are you guys dumb or something??? ECI had invited ANYONE multiple times , to come and hack EVMs , NO ONE CAME .. But use Airy words like democracy and evm hacking as a punching bag , cuz people don't accept u

[@MrTwangstaable]

very easy to build a biometric client with block chain voting, they don't want a perfect system. You can vote and also see your vote, it's perfect, a smart contract can be made to do this.

[@chachasingh4864]

And also how congress lost to bjp 2014

[@panicker01]

Good question. I think that should be addressed because people think that you need to hack all which will be a disaster if exposed. You just need to make sure that limited ones are hacked to tilt in one direction. But if there is a wave it can go either direction because then minor hacking does not matter.

Socha Newslaundy ki laundy ka gyaan badha du. Democracy khatre mein hai aur EVM has lost credibility 😅. Democracy was thriving when. 1.Nehru dismissed state governments 7 times. 2.Indira Gandhi dismissed state governments 49 times. 3.Rajiv Gandhi dismissed state governments 6 times. 4.Narasimha Rao dismissed state governments 11 times. 5.Manmohan Singh dismissed state governments 11 times. In total Congress at the centre had dismissed 90 state governments by misusing Article 356. Has Modi dismissed any state government in his tenure? Still he is a fascist, he is a dictator. Today we have technology your bogus narratives can be burst by any individual.

[@parassinghbawa8554]

The ECI fumbled in court over it's security mechanism claims. The EC takes no action to enforce MCC against bjp violations but is quick to remind congress of it's violations and consequences. The entire EC is partial. The BEL and ECIL panels, the company which makes EVMs have BJP guys as board members. What more proof do we need. Forget EVM tampering, BJP does or doesn't do it does not matter that much. The entire ECI has been filled with RSS bureaucracy like Mr Rajeev Kumar.
