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.
(Note: Detailed AP state elections data is from Eenadu inTelugu at http://www.eenadu.net/archives/archive-17-5-2009/story.asp?qry1=1&reccount=40) 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.
