Modi के इशारे पर Election Commission ने बोला झूठ, अब बचेंगे कैसे? | News That matters
In this episode of News that Matters, we dive deep into the controversy surrounding the Election Commission's response to allegations made by Rahul Gandhi regarding the integrity of India's voting system. On 7th August, Rahul Gandhi held a press conference, showing evidence of alleged vote-rigging, and raised concerns about the absence of machine-readable voter lists, which could help catch duplicate names and fraud. The Election Commission, led by Chief Election Commissioner Rajeev Kumar, responded with a press conference of its own, but rather than addressing the allegations head-on, they deflected by attacking Rahul Gandhi personally. The Chief Election Commissioner questioned the need for CCTV footage of polling booths, invoking privacy concerns, but failed to provide clear answers to the allegations. In this video, we analyze the Election Commission’s reasoning, such as the claim that reviewing CCTV footage of a million polling booths would take hundreds of years, and question the validity of such arguments in the context of modern technology. With India handling petabytes of data daily, is the Commission's claim of technological incapacity credible? We also discuss the rushed Special Summary Revision (SIR) of voter lists in Bihar ahead of the elections and raise critical questions about the Commission’s transparency and accountability. Stay tuned as we explore whether the Election Commission is genuinely working towards a transparent electoral process or merely deflecting criticism with flawed arguments.
