The institution whose data RaGa leaned on to defame the voters - has now apologised


Recommended Posts

A “sincere apology" and the deletion of social media posts suggesting a significant dip in the number of voters in two assembly constituencies compared to the Lok Sabha election held just months apart seem to have hit at the heart of Congress’s attack on the Election Commission regarding Maharashtra.

Psephologist and co-director of Lokniti-CSDS Prof Sanjay Kumar made the startling claim two days earlier. However, on Tuesday morning, he posted on X, “I sincerely apologize for the tweets posted regarding Maharashtra elections. Error occurred while comparing data of 2024 LS and 2024 AS. The data in row was misread by our Data team. The tweet has since been removed. I had no intention of dispersing any form of misinformation."

This admission came on the heels of Rahul Gandhi’s Vote Adhikar Yatra in Bihar, where the Congress leader launched a fierce attack on the Election Commission.

The Bharatiya Janata Party was in no mood to let go, with BJP’s IT cell chief Amit Malviya lashing out at Kumar’s apology, calling him a “protégé of Yogendra Yadav". Malviya posted angrily, “Incidentally, when was the last time this protégé of Yogendra Yadav ever got anything right? In all his projections in the run-up to every single election, the BJP is supposedly losing—and when the reverse happens, he turns up on TV justifying how the BJP won. Convenient."

With CSDS’s Sanjay Kumar’s turnaround, Congress and Rahul Gandhi may find it tough to promote the narrative of “vote chori" against India’s poll body. Sources indicate there was no unanimity from powerful INDIA constituents when the idea of seeking the removal of Chief Election Officer Gyanesh Kumar was floated. Rahul Gandhi and the Congress may find it harder to push it through due to Tuesday’s revelation.

It has been there for a long time. It’s easy to put together a fool proof method, but political parties would never want it.

Asalu vote chori jarigina leda anedi pakkana pedite, RG is successful in creating a doubt among people. C-voter survey on the EC-RG drama at 20:00

 

It has always been there in one form or the other. 
I remember the first time I was eligible to vote. I went with a lot of enthusiasm to vote and ready to cast my vote at 7:20. Booth opens at 7. My vote was already cast. People from both parties recognize me. They gave me someone else vote as my vote to cast. 
Methods changed, but polls are not perfect. They have never been.

Everyone knows that there are some issues with voter list and these issues are decades old and not new. It's all about the perception and RG won the Perception war 

EC ichina reason

he also referred to the demand for surveillance footage from polling booths to determine if duplicate or ***** voting took place. “Should the Election Commission share CCTV videos of anyone's mother, daughter-in-law, sister, or of anyone else?” Gyanesh Kumar said.
