All recognize EVM's are a serious problem for free and fair elections, but from Andhra Pradesh perspective, we need to look at some factors that are very revealing:

1) 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.  See the links below.

No where in history we know, a party could predict an election outcome so precisely.  Even in US where there is elaborate analysis can any news agency, Pew Studies etc could predict out come of election, leave alone one but both state and central so precisely?    How can it be possible from six month prior to elections a ruling party predict the outcome of (central)  elections exact to last digit?  Especially when the race is 3 way and the outcome is so unpredictable...  more so when poll predictions in India are known to be notoriously inaccurate...

This only show that the elections results are predetermined. Could EVM's played a role into that?  Let us look into some more pointers.

2) EVMs are banned in Netherlands,  Ireland (after spending 51 million pounds),  Germany (considered e-voting unconstitutional),  Italy.   Dr. Swamy once mentioned how he demonstrated many years to election commissioner  with a MIT Professor (his relation) how easy it is to manipulate the EVM's.   Please see attached powerpoint presentation.

3) 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.

4) 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?

5) Are EVM's preprogrammed?  In Palacole constituency (West Godavari)  it is believed to be constituted by 80% of Kapu Vote which should go in  a big way for Mr. Chiranjeevi but he lost that election.  Is it to cut Mr. Chiranjeevi to size and send him a message?  There are several such examples.

6)  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).

7) Add to this factor,  Andhra CM is  known to be a goonda that is known  from his rise from Pulavendu constituency to Cuddapah district to Andhra Pradesh state where he has accumulated great record for notorious criminal activities.  He is unscrupulous in nature and will go to any lengths to get desired objective.

What can be done?

Will the parties come together and take a stand against EVM and declare that they will not participate even one more election until we go back to paper process, like many other countries did?

Will the parties like TDP, Praja Rajyam, Communists and even BJP contest the seemingly blatantly rigged Andhra Pradesh elections before 30 days (since election announcement) runs out (in 3 or 4 days)?

What is at stake here is democracy, people's will to elect their leaders?   It is what the country fought for many years and sacrificed their lives.    Will we drag the country back to Emergency era and perhaps even backward to imperialism.
