Chennai, May 15 (TruthDive): Subramanian Swamy says that EVM were manipulated (2009) by Congress in the last elections in 70 constituencies to get the numbers. One of the constituencies is Sivaganga from where P Chidambaram scraped home.
This allegation was levelled by Dr Subramanian Swamy. He has posted a video put up by http://indiaevm.org/ which explains how the machine can be hacked and manipulated to suit the hackers. As counting starts tomorrow, this revelation shows how technically it can be manipulated and the age old method of sealing machines can be easily tampered with.
Mani Shankar Aiyar, a Congress candidate and favourite of Rahul Gandhi in his show of loyalty said Narendra Modi would never become PM that has landed him in trouble with EC. A Chennai social activist MS Subramaniam has written to CEC VS Sampath and election commissioners TN Malhotra and HS Brahma saying that Aiyar’s declaration was based on the strength that EVMs were manipulated. The complaint has backed Dr Subramanian Swamy’s claim.
According to Subramanian Swamy, the Congress has made arrangement to tamper and manipulate the EVM (Electronic Voting Machines) in selected constituencies across the country. The SC had told Election Commission to use VVPAT (Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail) mandatory for all electronic voting machines used in the polls. The Congress using the tampering of EVMs so as to beat exit polls to win the 2004 and 2009 Lok Sabha elections.
Dr Subramanian Swamy in a legal battle proved that EVM can be tampered and following that the SC made VVPAT mandatory but pro-Congress Chief EC has not implemented even in this election.
Dr Subramanian Swamy claims that all EVMs could be tampered. This was backed by a pioneer in EVM, Prof David Dill, professor in Stanford University, who wrote a detailed letter to then CEC Navin Chawla in February 2010. Chawla and present Sampath according WikiLeaks were the choice of Congress.
VVPAT facility would give the voters to get a receipt from the EVM showing the name of the candidate for whom the vote was cast. This will be stored in a ballot box and could be an evidence in case of any dispute.
P Chidambaram’s victory from Sivaganga in the 2009 Lok Sabha election is said to be due to EVM manipulation. Having declared defeated was later seen won by 3000 votes against AIADMK candidate. AIADMK complaint to EC did not meet any response; it moved the court but there has been no verdict till now.
Chidambaram might repeat it again as an English channel says Tamil Nadu will send one Congress candidate to Lok Sabha.
