It pains me to see that, driven by an inexplicable desire to run down India and our robust democratic system, politicians of a particular thinking and ideology, including those deeply influenced by the Balak Buddhi, hover on the brink of a different kind of mental state. One that compels them to eschew logic, utter falsehoods, and cast doubts about India’s electoral system. One day they are proponents of paper ballot, on another when they lose an election based on paper ballot they are not able to explain how despite a paper ballot nearly 35 of their MP’s voted for the NDA candidate in the vice-president election. They have mastered the art of shoot & scoot politics. Their allegations usually sans facts and are based on false data; and always come crumbling down at the first scrutiny. Their modus operandi is clear - lose elections due to their incompetence and past linkages with corruption and scams, create imaginary reasons for the loss, never lodge official complaints despite being asked to do so by the ECI, refuse to submit proof backed by a declaration and eventually try to whip up hysteria based on their fake data. Every point they have raised about an imaginary ‘vote chori’ and electoral data has turned out to be a figment of their imagination. The data they have been quoting has turned out to be wrong. Their lie on new voter addition in Maharashtra was exposed where more voters were added in 2004 & 2009 when UPA won, than in 2024. Or, look at Wayanad which had 93,499 doubtful voters including 20,438 duplicate voters, or Rae Bareli with a whopping 2,00,089 doubtful voters including 19,512 duplicate voters or 71,977 with fake addresses. The real reason behind all this noise and imaginary claims of ‘vote chori’ is their sinister motive of vote bank politics. Of empowering the infiltrators, stealing the mandate of real Indians, and compromising national security.
