Chief Election Commissioner Navin Chawla [Images] is sitting over a major scandal of a possible massive rigging of elections by manipulation of software of the Electronic Voting Machines.
But for the charge levelled by a former Delhi [Images] chief secretary five years senior to him in the Indian Administrative Service cadre, Chawla would have rejected such claims of rigging.
Omesh Saigal, a 1964 batch IAS officer of the Union Territory, stunned him with a presentation to force him to order an inquiry into any possibility of such a rigging.
Deputy Election Commissioner Balakrishnan has been asked to conduct the inquiry on the basis of a report handed over by Saigal to the CEC, with a software he got developed to show how the elections can be rigged.
Saigal, who is an Indian Institute of Technology alumni, has demanded an urgent check of the programme that runs the EVMs used in elections since 2004.
He demonstrated with his software that its manipulation ensured that one has to just key in a certain code number and that will ensure every fifth vote cast in a particular polling booth goes in favour of a certain candidate.
In his letter to the CEC, Saigal alleged that the software written onto the EVMs has never been checked by the Election Commission ever since these machines were manufactured than 6-7 years back.
His contention is that the EC merely relied on the certificates supplied by the manufacturers, the government-run BEL and ECIL. He alleged that these government firms had subcontracted private parties who actually provided these certificates.
"A public software audit of these machines from time to time, especially after and before an election, was a must to retain the credibility of the elections," Saigal affirmed, demanding that for the sake of transparency names and ownerships of these private companies must be disclosed, as also the details of the factories where they were actually manufactured.
We Will never get 'Reliable' Information about this because of the mutual reliance.
He also pointed out how, after nearly two years of deliberation, Germany's [Images] Supreme Court ruled last March that e-voting was unconstitutional because the average citizen could not be expected to understand the exact steps involved in the recording and tallying of votes. Earlier, Ireland had given up e-voting for similar reasons.
In the United States too, after considerable controversy the Federal Election Commission has come up in 2005 with detailed voting system guidelines which run into more than 400 pages.
Saigal said that it is noteworthy that not a single safeguard mentioned in these guidelines are in place in India.
PMK goes to court
The Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) has moved the Madras high court seeking an opportunity to demonstrate that the electronic VOTING MACHINES[EVM]CAN BE manipulated and that poll results were doctored to suit the ruling party.
Justice M Jaichandren, before whom the public interest writ petition of PMK president GK Mani came up for hearing on Friday, adjourned the matter to July 9.
Citing the recent general elections, Mani said ruling parties at the centre and the state had indulged in all sorts of illegalities to snatch a victory.

GREAT QUESTIONS THAT REVEAL THE MUCK
How can Andhra Pradesh Congress Party declare so precisely how many
central seats they are going to win so consistenly for last six months and
the elections results match exactly to the last digit?
For e.g, Six months ago YSR mentioned Congress will win 230 in state
assembly and 33 in Centre. One month before he said 180 in state assembly
and 33 in center. Soon after elections, his closest aide Mr. Lagadapati
Rajagopal said they will win 156 in state and 33 center. The center matched
the outcome exactly for last six months and state matched with the last
predictions almost exactly.

EVM's are developed in ECIL in Hyderabad. A rumor going around is Mr.
N. Prasad head of ECIL is a Christian who is a friend of Christian
evangelist Andhra CM YSR.

Are EVM's preprogrammed? Some pointers. Karimnagar and Nizamabad are
well known backward districts of Andhra Pradesh. Each district have 2
seats each for center and all 4 are won by Congress. Now, in both districts
combined out of 22 state assembly seats, only 4 assembly seats (out of 22)
are won by Congress. How can it be possible the uneducated class of people
would distinguish which party they would give their vote between State and
Center?

Andhra Pradesh is a cash cow for Congress where every Govt. license is
believed to require paying 10% to Congress. There is so much news/data on
the high level of corruption (as well as large scale looting of temples).
This is a state which Congress would not want to lose and Congress is
committed to win under any circumstances (hook or crook).[ SOURCE: the web]

Congress general secretary in charge of the party’s affairs in Orissa Ghulam Nabi Azad had alleged ‘manipulation’ of electronic voting machines (EVMs) had led to the party’s defeat in the assembly and parliamentary elections in the state.

Why the government staff in Tamilnadu who participate in election duties get hikes, perks and bonus, more than they ask for while doctors and medical students much leser than their demands and that too after many protests- simple , ,.....
Why congress is not demanding berths in tamilnadu even though dmk is in minority and needs their support plus dmk has a plump share in centre?
Why is PM afraid to ask questions to dmk when serious allegations are raised?
