Poor EVM is now "Election Vote Manipulation"

Ever since BJP sweeps Uttarpradesh, a lots of tense faces with very heavy voice start pointing out on a "possible conspiracy" on EVMs to help BJP winning election with a big margin in UP. Poor EVMs never blamed like this before ever since they exists in India, yes its being blamed by non technical politician with their political frames and their frustration was understandable unless like mere political excuse from IITians turned politicians who learns to play technology on their entire academics more then a Engineer from State based Universities, their reasoning should be called as "Shocker" just like any student who feels that he or she deserves a extra marks or a job seeker who expects HR to give him or her a sure shot opportunity despite they never stood as per the expectation. Surprisingly Parties and Faces came to limelight thanks to that EVM only have no courage to challenge their power again but continue to raise finger on EVMs after their defeat. With EVM on center stage they indirectly pointing on a Constitutional Body which is equals to everyone and parties who're questioning somewhat proving the misuse of power on their regime may be ?

Candidates and Party who appears to be deceive in election should please with their effort though as atleast they haven't got Zero even after their very little effort. They should search those peoples from politics who got zero for different - different reason, one of the reason may be "Booth Capturing" too. Not letting someone to vote or contest for election is a kind of crime and atleast we're now moved away from that but still we're living in a era where Parties thinking to win any election due to its Leadership or Part time issue of "Freedom of Expression". Today's voter bought a change on themselves, they knows the deep inside of every voice and actual intentions behind it, they knows who's representing what ? Today's voter will not going to vote due to occasional leader who request for a change and only criticize the policy of current Government because they have to and tats why after taking a blow on this leaders who asked for a proof on "Surgical Strike" against Pakistan are now condemning Pakistan after they convicted a Former Naval Officer for spying and requesting the Government to bring the officer back safely.

During the assembly election few villages headlined Nationally due to National Media was exploring Uttar Pradesh to cover a stories (which we will get to see only during next General Election), highlighted their boycott on not to vote due to no electricity, no water, no availability of basic needs which is essential to live a basic life, they decided not to trust on anyone because leaders they trusted never seen in 5 years. To save the future of parties and their intellectual needs to start studying a basic figure of "Population of specific region compare to Voters voted to all parties divided by the Votes they received", it will be enough to understand the entire concept of politics rather then researching or understanding the concept of hacking in EVMs because rather then a EVM hack its a hack of a ideology which lost the election. High time for parties to appoint scholars whose leadership are unaware from ground reality rather then a strategic who draws few point to crack the election.

Challenging EVMs may be the only way left to hide the inability to win people's heart but disappoints those who won the election beating a "Waves". Because of this EVM tussle efforts of Captain Amrinder looks very tiny, when Party leadership offered and wanted him to contribute in National Politics he's only wish to won the Assembly Election and become a Chief Minister of the State for one last time led him left everything aside for Punjab. There was a anti incumbency in Punjab due to Akali was in power from last 10 years but Badals winning election proved that their constituency supporting them! Taking a stand is quite a tricky thing but it needs to be care of and if its impacting negatively then it will not benefit at all. Criticizing EVM despite of knowing the consequences and describing the consequences infront of Media will only help someone to create a meme rather then expecting a support. Better if Party and Leadership man enough to accept the defeat and start preparing for the next challenge as to win the election parties and leadership needs to become a "alternative" rather then advocating the alternatives of EVM.

[Analysis] What made this 5 State Elections Results special ?

11th of March 2017 was kind of a historic day in Indian Politics as in this day 5 States Election results was announced, the reason it was most important because UttarPradesh, the biggest democratic State of India was on the line and wave from UttarPradesh decides on which way Indian politics will move on. The mammoth support to BJP in UttarPardesh and Uttarakhand and despite of people underestimated Congress they managed to won Punjab and leads in terms of votes in Goa, Manipur. 

There was a huge anti incumbency in Punjab for last 2 - 3 years was enough to proof that a change is coming, Intellectuals may have figure out wrong may thought that history of Delhi will repeat in Punjab but Punjab is not Delhi and such naive analysis is nothing more then a propaganda which make Governments in paper and not in reality. Election was kind of formality in Punjab to determine who will be the next Chief of the State, if Congress is back in Punjab then its due to Captain Amrinder Singh's effort and the way he led the entire campaign from the front also the way he worked constantly in Punjab's grassroots and made sure that his party returns. Interesting thing in the results was that Captain Amrinder lost in "Lambi" constituency against Former CM Parkash Singh Badal though he won from his conventional "Patiala" Seat which ensures him to return as a winner for his party to takeover the State for the 2nd time, Former Deputy CM Sukhbir Singh Badal too won from "Jalalabad" and his Brother in Law Bikram Singh Majithia won from "Majitha" indicated that anti incumbency may be was there against the Akali + BJP Government but people also voted in the favor of that leadership. It will be now quite interesting to see the "Battle of Punjab" now.

When take on Goa's results it may not gone to the favor of BJP but its due to their leadership collapse and not against Government, their allies partner and RSS ideology gone against the defending party, all this started when Manohar Parrikar moved to Central Government as a Defense Minister and in his absence party struggled themselves and lost the balance on peoples expectation, for Goa as well intellectuals of Delhi thought for a wave like Capital of India but it was not more then a passing shower which was not even considered. Similarly in Manipur though BJP did well but there was no serious anti incumbency tats why despite the number was short Congress still managed to remain the number 1 party of the State in terms of the Vote and interestingly people extended their support to Ibobi Singh who won the election with a good margin but his opponent "Iron Lady" Irom Sharmila managed to get less then 100 votes which is lesser then "Nota" votes of Thoubal constituency who recently joined election after her 16 years long fight for AFSPA, no doubt its a heart breaking but its a sad reality of Indian Politics as if the fight was in Delhi not in Manipur then she may not only won the election but might have sweep the State as well.

But the big headline grabber of this "Mid Term Election" was UP Election, as for the first time in History out of 403 seats, BJP + able to win 324 seats which is a kind of single largest victory ever. This is also a first time when BJP won UttarPradesh and Uttarakhand after a State split, in Uttarakhand as well BJP able to win 57 seats out of 70 which is again a record as no party till now able to cross more then 36 seats. Indeed results gone against Harish Rawat and his Party who literally was facing leadership crisis, many intellectuals may have giving reasons for this defeat but the fact which matter is that Harish Rawat claimed the Government when himself was overshadowed in a party and he was very close to leave Congress who later fulfilled his wish but lost other leaders from the party. 

When I wrote "Why winning in ground is so crucial to win Assembly Election !!", I specifically stress on a point that Elections can't be fought in space, without knowing ground reality and sensing the direction of wind if parties jumped to fight elections with too much of dependency on Strategic Manager who're basically a management company and nothing else then they will be Knocked Out straight away, Today's voters are changing they wants Food, Employment, Education, Home, they less care about if someone trying to define the new logic of war, want history to be written in a new way, all these are a secondary issues for many and may not be important for most of the people in India, they want basic necessity to be filled prior to all. Tats what this election defines the most, no matter whatever the party is if leadership talking about ground's issue then they will be accepted.

This particular election was also a eye opener for Media who tries to change the mindset of a voter by manipulating and twisting news, even if the Media was not allowed then Social Media was used. During Exit Polls many Intellectuals was busy making their favorite party's Government. Most of the Studio veterans was claiming to have a visit in the polling States and shared their observation in TV less then 48 hours from the Election Results but they must have hide the fact that their focus to cover the State was limited to Party offices and few lanes and not more then that. I believe that soon Exit Polls will be known as more subjective and nothing in reality, it already lost the confidence years ago. It will be consider like playing a democratic game in paper because in Ground actual vote can't be disclose and shouldn't be disclose and tats why its a math for psephologist to be solve and tats why its not a everyone's cup of tea. 

This mandate can't be consider against any party nor to favor any face, whosoever talking about ground zero and displays the strong leadership has won. Its not a rocket science for anyone to know who is best for the State, party who's unitedly standing or a party who have a internal problems to sought out !! I believe any secular party can form Government anytime post Elections or Post forming Government as well because they always be united for 1 thing no matter their common minimum program matches or not. Forming a alliance and tat too before Election and launching Manifesto post 1 or 2 phases doesn't matter enough because if faces are staggering just before the election then what would be the fate after mandate. This election is also against generic politics as candidates are considered as Indian first rather then from some community, this shows the clear picture of voters and the pattern of election which is completely changing. Its a new era of politics and voters are not hesitate to take a stand either in the favor or against, tats why future of democracy going to be more bigger and better and as a festival it will be more sweeter then ever before.
