To know why we have opted for Electronic voting Machines when supposedly "advanced" countries like US et al still trust only paper ballet.

k.l.i. (krischum league of india, formerly known as congress) has a lot of computer hacks available from western fundamentalists naturally sympathetic to, and hence mercenary for, kli. this election will be more about varun gandhi and india's ability to not let its election stolen from it.
President: --------- Look at the way we have brought a disciplined president. The previous man - kalam - appointed by BJP used to ask several questions before signing the bills, documents. We have brought an obedient, rubberstamp who never bothers to look at the document. In fact she is so disciplined that she has given us blank signed papers to me. See how disciplined a president we have. CEC: --- Kudos to the CEC I have brought. A man who is willing to do anything to please me. A man who obediently passes of all the insider information from the Election Commission thru wash room Can any other Party bring such a disciplined CEC?? CBI Director: ------------ We have got a Chaprasi CBI director. On my direction he has allowed the Bofors accused to escape. On my direction he has booked mulayam under corruption case. Again, when mulayam budges, on my direction he is ready to withdraw the charges.
Supreme Court: My next target ------------------------------ My next target is to discipline the SC. With rampant corruption in judiciary it is not very difficult to achieve my target in the judiciary too. Already I have obtained the stamp of approval for the appointment of my chaprasi-chawla from SC. It is not very far off when all the SC judges will come into my payroll
Varun Gandhi’s address in Pilbhit has become a full blown electoral war between the BJP and the Congress trading charges in which the Election Commission has been caught in the cross fire.
BJP general secretary Jaitley has said that the EC is biased in its view in not allowing Varun to contest. The Congress, which ignored the CEC’s recommendation to the President on Navin Chawla’s dismissal, built an impregnable defence, and named him as the next CEC in cynical disregard to his track record of proven bias for the party.
It cannot take a high moral ground now to defend the EC’s case. The controversy is now interestingly poised and is grist to the mill of the media
EC should not have overstepped its limits if it has no authority to ask the party, not to field Varun, who spewed venomous remarks on a particular community wrongly, as a candidate. It is enough if the EC takes care of the enormous responsibility it has at hand for the ensuing elections. As the BJP has not fielded Varun yet, the maximum the EC could have done was, to ask him to show restraint when he spoke. After being exposed by his utterances, Varun could have been warned not to make such public statements.
The EC has no right to order a ban on Varun from contesting the polls. Hope the EC sticks to its rules and regulations rather than overstep its duties in the ensuing elections.
No way CEC Chawla will ensure Congress win Apropos It is baffling to note the government reject the CEC’s recommendation when Article 324(2) is emphatic that “the other ECs can be removed if the CEC approves their ouster.”
In the beginning, the Election Commission consisted of only the CEC. But the Congress (I) government just before the ninth general election appointed two more Commissioners in an attempt to compromise the independence of the Election Commission. It is curious how the amended rule (on January 2, 1990 by the National Front government), which restored the status quo ante, was negated and the multi-member body continued.
The Constituent Assembly had envisaged such disputes and had asked to constitute a collegium to decide on appointments such as the CEC, ECs to be above partisan politics. But the Administrative Reforms Commission cold-shouldered it. The Apex Court must be given the power to select CEC and ECs from the list given by the government taking the Opposition into confidence.
Hope the EC sticks to its rules and regulations rather than overstep its duties in the ensuing elections.
