EVM's are either being preprogrammed to swap the votes as poll progresses or were being accessed remotely and the program that runs them facilitates vote swapping or both. Only way we would know is to get them audited, and Milords are not giving consent. 

Before the counting in Andhra, both Baboru and MAALOKAM disappeared one night and maintained radio silence later, do you remember it ?

Fix the flaws: On Rahul Gandhi’s ‘stolen elections’ allegation and the Election Commission of India

Voter registration problems demand systemic solutions by the Election Commission of India

The Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, has levelled serious allegations of “criminal fraud” against the Election Commission of India (ECI), by claiming that over 1 lakh fake votes were created in the Mahadevapura Assembly segment of the Bangalore Central Lok Sabha constituency in order to ensure a victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the 2024 general election. His detailed presentation outlining five categories of alleged electoral malpractices demands careful examination, not wholesale dismissal. The Congress leader’s documentation reveals troubling patterns: voters registered multiple times within the same constituency, identical Electors Photo Identity Card (EPIC) numbers across different States, and improbably large numbers of voters listed at single addresses. While identical EPIC numbers across different States are not a significant issue — the ECI addressed these anomalies earlier this year — his claim that party workers found booth slips showing multiple votes by the “same person” in a single booth represents a serious violation of the “one person, one vote” principle, if verified. Mr. Gandhi claimed that these discrepancies were not limited to Mahadevapura but were part of a calculated modus operandi to help the BJP in marginal constituencies across the country. The Congress party had made similar allegations about massive increases in electoral registrations prior to the Maharashtra Assembly election, claiming that these had contributed to the unexpected victory of the BJP and its allies, though without elaborate proof of erroneous registrations as seen in Mahadevapura. Mr. Gandhi’s analysis stops short of proving that these discrepancies directly enabled the BJP’s victory. The BJP won the Mahadevapura Assembly seat in 2023 with a margin of approximately 44,500 votes. The increased margin, to over 1,14,000 votes, in 2024 happened even though the total accretions in the electoral roll were around 52,600 electors and the actual voter count increased only by around 20,000. Establishing a causal link between electoral roll errors and poll outcomes requires more than circumstantial correlation. The leap from documenting registration flaws to alleging deliberate fraud orchestrated by the ECI in collusion with the BJP remains unsubstantiated.

The ECI has adopted an unnecessarily defensive stance by demanding that evidence be submitted ‘under oath’ — a requirement that legal experts suggest may not apply in this situation — and attributing electoral discrepancies to the failure by political parties to raise concerns during registration. More problematic is the ECI’s practice of releasing voter information in bulky image PDFs rather than structured, searchable text formats, which hinders verification efforts by political parties and civil society organisations. The ECI’s approach to voter registration relies heavily on self-declarations and lacks robust verification mechanisms. The Mahadevapura controversy highlights the urgent need for comprehensive electoral roll reform through door-to-door verification, the most reliable method. The ECI’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in Bihar appears to respond to critics about electoral roll problems. In theory, this should help maintain more accurate rolls. However, rushed implementation and problematic identity verification requirements risk creating new issues related to legitimate voter deletion. Data already show higher deletions among women electors than men in Bihar. Considering that most out-migrants are males, the higher deletion of women electors could indicate that marginalised electors — particularly those who are illiterate (literacy rate of women aged 15-49 years in Bihar was 55% in 2019-21, according to the National Family Health Survey) — have been erroneously excluded in the enumeration process for the draft SIR roll.

The broader challenge extends to multiple aspects of electoral administration: lax implementation of campaign finance regulations and the Model Code of Conduct, tallying VVPATs from only small samples rather than statistically significant proportions, inadequate technical safeguards for symbol loading in VVPATs, and the unwillingness to submit the EVM’s technical safeguards to independent expert verification. The ECI’s resistance to retaining CCTV footage from polling booths, delays in publishing final turnout figures, and evolution into an institution viewing criticism as an attack represent a troubling departure from democratic norms. The fundamental issue underlying current electoral controversies is the erosion of institutional trust. The ECI’s credibility depends not merely on technical soundness but also on public confidence in its impartiality and transparency. The process of appointing Election Commissioners needs to follow the Supreme Court’s recommendation to include the Chief Justice of India in the selection panel, currently side-stepped by the government. Mr. Gandhi’s allegations fall short of establishing deliberate fraud. But his party’s findings perform a valuable democratic function by highlighting systemic flaws. The appropriate response requires comprehensive voter roll auditing, enhanced transparency in data sharing, improved technical safeguards including comprehensive audit trails of EVM commands and security protocols for symbol loading, stronger enforcement of electoral regulations, and consultations with political parties. The ECI must embrace the principle that democratic institutions grow stronger through scrutiny. The alternative — continued erosion of confidence in electoral processes — poses far greater risks to democratic governance than any specific allegation of malpractice.

BJP has turned ECI into its ‘poll-rigging machinery’, alleges T.N. CM Stalin

Mr. Stalin alleged that what happened in Bengaluru’s Mahadevapura was “not an administrative lapse,” but “a calculated conspiracy to steal the people’s mandate.”

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK president M.K. Stalin on Monday (August 11, 2025) accused the BJP of turning the Election Commission of India (ECI) into its “poll-rigging machinery”. He further alleged that what happened in Bengaluru’s Mahadevapura was “not an administrative lapse,” but “a calculated conspiracy to steal the people’s mandate.”

In a social media post, Mr. Stalin contended the “#VoteTheft evidence” presented by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi exposed the scale of this “fraud”. He also referred to the march by the INDIA bloc led by Mr. Gandhi, from the Parliament House to the ECI.

 

Mr. Stalin further underlined their demands: the immediate release of the complete machine-readable voter roll for every State, an end to politically driven deletions, and an independent probe into this “subversion of our democracy”.

“DMK stands shoulder to shoulder in this fight. We will not watch in silence while the BJP robs India’s democracy in broad daylight. #VoteChori #RahulExposesVoteChori,” Mr. Stalin said in his social media post.

'EC crossed all limits of shamelessness': Congress on alleged voter fraud and roll deletions

Congress general secretary (Organisation) K C Venugopal said that while the poll panel claims “utmost transparency” in preparing electoral rolls, its actions suggest otherwise.

The Congress, on Saturday, launched a sharp attack on the Election Commission of India (ECI), accusing it of “crossing all limits of shamelessness” and failing to uphold its constitutional responsibility in the face of allegations of large-scale voter fraud.

Congress general secretary (Organisation) KC Venugopal said that while the poll panel claims “utmost transparency” in preparing electoral rolls, its actions suggest otherwise. He questioned why the ECI continues to deny political parties access to machine-readable electoral rolls and why CCTV footage from election processes is deleted within 45 days.

“If the ECI truly welcomes scrutiny of electoral rolls, then the Chief Election Commissioner and other commissioners must come clean on why they refuse to share machine-readable rolls and why they delete critical CCTV evidence. Constitutional authorities are expected to be the epitome of probity, not hide behind vaguely drafted press notes to cover up failures in safeguarding democracy,” Venugopal posted on microblogging site X.

The Congress leader also accused the Commission of stonewalling opposition MPs, refusing to explain the deletion of over 65 lakh names during the Bihar summary revision process, and quietly pulling down machine-readable rolls that had been uploaded earlier.

His remarks came after the EC, in a statement, countered opposition allegations by saying that some parties and their booth-level agents (BLAs) failed to flag errors during the statutory period provided for claims and objections after draft rolls were published.

The poll panel insisted it was open to scrutiny of the rolls and said such feedback helps officials remove flaws.

Venugopal, however, argued that the burden of catching “vote theft and mass rigging” cannot rest on political parties alone, blaming the ECI for what he alleged was “BJP-controlled manipulation of the democratic process".
