I'm 100% convinced that elections were riggedBy: Chandra SG | Monday , 6 Jul '09 13:07:37 PM Reply | Forward Taking the instance of elections in AP.There was a cross voting from TDP to Congress... this is completely absurd..!! Also... TDP which was ahead of Congress in initial rounds.. jumped ahead in subsequent rounds...!!TDP and Congress were neck to neck in Assembly polls... but Congress literaly swept.. Parliament elections... this is completely absurd considering the situation on the ground!!

Attitude of the "Minorities"By: AK Bhattacharya | Monday , 6 Jul '09 12:44:26 PM Reply | Forward I am shocked and stunned at the response of the few "minorities" in these comments. Have you already assumed that you are ruling this country, so much so that any mention of the word "BJP" makes you rave, rant and curse without even looking at what's inside? Have you assumed that all Hindus are dead, or inevitably hurtling towards their doom? Now I am getting the feeling that the one-or-two Hindu names who have used expletives are also "minorities" under masked names. Furthermore, although I would love to believe that the democratic system in India is faultless, this gang-up makes me feel sinister international forces are at play and the charges of tampering need to be neutrally investigated forthwith.

EVMs/EC By: SudhirP | Monday , 6 Jul '09 12:36:26 PM Reply | Forward Many people are talking about EVMs and saying when congress lost elections then even they could've said this . Let me tell you that it was the BJP which first introduced EVMs in 2004 elections and they lost . BJP introduced this in the right earnest

EVM manipulationBy: M.S.Kamath | Monday , 6 Jul '09 12:24:31 PM Reply | Forward EVM manipulation may be possible. But, going back to ballot papers is foolishness, because large scale manipulation is possible there. It is also required to have tamper-proof electoral rolls. There was a large scale tampering of the rolls during the 2009 general elections in Karnataka. BJP should also address this issue. Why did it happen? Instead of casting a doubt on EVMs, BJP should come out with solid proof of manipulation. The EVMs used where different political parties have won, should be inspected on a random basis by technical personnel, to find out the truth. It is very unfortunate whenever BJP won in various state elections earlier, this sort of a doubt never crossed BJP stalwarts. BJP should not appear like a trouble maker.

BJP stop trying to fool peopleBy: Guruji | Monday , 6 Jul '09 12:22:36 PM Reply | Forward Post vajpayee bjp has fast degenerated into a ragtag bunch of hooligans who can resort to any mechanism in their power grabbing quest. Lies, decpetion, violence and all sorts of regregressive ideas seem to be the cornerstone of this party. I used to hate congress but the bjp in its current avatar make the congress looking like an angel. The evms that these people are crowing about are exported to many countries some of which are the so called developed nations. None of those countries have reported any problems. How come bjp found them to be faulty that to only in places where they lost. Why is it difficult for these pseudonationalists to understand that vast majority of indians do not subscribe to the flawed ideology.

B.J.P should not expectBy: KUMAR | Monday , 6 Jul '09 12:03:00 PM Reply | Forward The B.J.P should not expect any favourable reply from the Election Commission. The present Election Commission is being headed by Mr Chawla who is on the payroll of Sonia Gandhi leader of the congress party what else can you expect from this man. Gone are the days when the Election Commission of India was headed by an efficient straight forward person Mr Seshan.

EVMs and function----By: romesh.sharma | Monday , 6 Jul '09 11:51:15 AM Reply | Forward EVMs or any other machine in any form can never be absolutely Fool-Proof.Its not the question of Mal-Functioning but question of Manipulations.These machines can be easily manipulated that too with remote-control.They were manipulated during 2004 and this with great caution and fool-proof technics.EC itself doesn't function and is a corrupt institution playing in the hands of greater bidder and from whom they expect better career.So is with Indian CBI and judiciary as well.Here in India its something like-JIS KI LAATHI USKI BHAINS.The arrogance with which they work and arrogate to themselves depicts their culpable attitude of covering invidious distinctions done.BJP and every other Party has the right to ask scrutinize and ask for explaination for wrong doings.To add once again its ridiculous that her are only three guys from minority and they must speak all against BJP/RSS while they don't have least knowledge about both.Such guys are the reason of mal-function of whole Govt system

EVM MalfunctioningBy: Dr A M Siddiqui | Monday , 6 Jul '09 11:39:33 AM Reply | Forward BJP leaders are hypocrats. Wherever congress lost, it is the same EVMs. You try to understand the real situation.

Heart brokenBy: John | Monday , 6 Jul '09 11:31:11 AM Reply | Forward The BJP and its supporters are really heart broken. They simply can't get any clue about what Indians think. So they keep on loosing in elections. This is the problem with fanatics, they can't think out of the box. The BJP can't sustain in the political arena with their current agenda like Ram temple issue or cow slaughter. The people of Indian want development, employment, better education standards, peace, etc. Not massacres, riots, hatred, etc. The educated society of India can't even dream a second about a government like that of in Iran or the Taliban Afghanistan.
