Defeat or win... so-called 'win' by SICKULAR brigade does not matter :::: EVM debate is back and with all that Rahul Gandhi cannot be far behind !!

 Is Rahul Gandhi confused yet again?

Or he realises Narendra Modi is back in the corridors of power and will survive and hence the usual cry-baby syndrome !! ????  

Elon Musk, the money spinner and owner of micro blogging site says: "We should eliminate electronic voting machines. 

The risk of being hacked by humans or AI, while small, is still too high."

 The Twitter missive has been countered by BJP leader Rajeev Chandrashekhar. 

"This is a huge sweeping generalization statement that implies no one can build secure digital hardware. Wrong. @elonmusk's view may apply to US n other places - where they use regular compute platforms to build Internet connected Voting machines. 

But Indian EVMs are custom designed, secure and isolated from any network or media - 

No connectivity, no bluetooth, wifi, Internet. ie there is no way in. Factory programmed controllers that cannot be reprogrammed (sic)," Chandrasekhar tweeted. 

The BJP leader who lost to Congress leader Shashi Tharoor in Thuruvananthapuram, Kerala capital, was Minister of State for the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology in Modi Cabinet 2.0.  

But do not miss the high drama as Rahul Gandhi too joined the debate. Does he not like the idea of '99' marks ... well these may not be out of 100 ?? But wishes can have horses too !!

In a post on X, Rahul Gandhi said, "EVMs in India are a 'black box,' and nobody is allowed to scrutinize them. Serious concerns are being raised about transparency in our electoral process. Democracy ends up becoming a sham and prone to fraud when institutions lack accountability."

Amid the raging controversy, BJP IT Cell in-charge Amit Malviya issued a challenge to the Tesla CEO and a put-down to Rahul Gandhi.

"Elon Musk or whoever else thinks they can hack the EVM should approach the Election Commission of India and take a shot at it. But why is Rahul Gandhi complaining about Indian democracy to Musk? 

What can Musk do? Or is crying before the world and demeaning India part of Congress’s DNA? We just had an election and people of India rejected this dynast for a third time in row. But he still does not get it," tweeted Malviya.

During the recently concluded marathon Lok Sabha election, the Opposition had alleged that there was a possibility of the ruling BJP tampering with electronic voting machines (EVMs) to turn poll outcomes in their favour. 

In response, Chief Election Commissioner Rajeev Kumar assured that EVMs are "100% safe".
