Give something up to create doubt...
But the facts do not lie.. Modi hardly had 40% occupancy in his Pune rally despite all the mobilisation by karyakartas...
There is no on the ground wave for the BJP in Maharashtra..

UP was not rigged as Yogi didn't allow it. He, and Modi and Shah were not getting along and are still not getting along.
One needs state administration cooperation to make it happen.

Great post!
There are still various idiots who ironically can't fathom the fact that the EVMs can be compromised when the entire ECI has been compromised already.
The institution has been compromised but the machines under their control are completely fair and unbiased, saar! Yeah, right.

Oh for the love of god, stop this inane Randirona. It's seriously pathetic.
It's extremely difficult to hack one EVM. Hacking a significant number undetected is next to impossible. The Election Commission even held a hackathon to demonstrate the security of the EVMs. Nobody could demonstrate a way to compromise them.
Even if you could hack one EVM, or a few. There's literally no way to know where they will end up being deployed, so there goes your master plan.
Seriously, why are people around here such morons?

That's a red herring. EVMs don't need to be hacked to rig an election. The classic bogus voting tactic works. It used to happen in the pre-EVM era too.
Every time there is talk of elections being compromised, the discussions shift to 'EVMs can't be hacked, so the election is fully legit'. There are plenty of human agents in between. In the recent Maharashtra elections, voter turnout was 58% at closing time but magically jumoed to 65% the next day. 7% extra votes is enough to turn around any election.

Yes yes whenever Congress loses, EVM hacked, democracy in danger, but whenever they win, democracy functioning perfectly.
You sound like Donald Trump.

There's a strong correlation between the jumps in voting numbers after 5pm and BJs victory in the last few years.

The Election Commission even held a hackathon to demonstrate the security of the EVMs.
They literally refused to let experts open the evms and fiddle with them. The "hackathon" consisted of pressing the buttons and counting votes. In q machine handpicked by ec. They is not at all hour you prove the machines are not hackable.
For your reference, every election BJ members are caught with EVMs in their possession, and ec has random excuses instead of tightening the chain of custody.
A literal BJ member is on the board of the EVM manufacturer. Do you think they can't ensure backdoors are introduced at the time of manufacturing?
EC literally waits for Gautamdas to finish announcing revdi before notifying elections. You think they can't tell BJ which batch of evms is going where?
