Re: Narendra Modi vs the Dynasty: Contrasting Ideas of India

A thought comes to mind. AAP is trying its best to engage with Modi directly. As it is clear that INC has no hope of making a comeback, they cannot even carry out EVM magic and get away with it. Maybe the EVM advantage can be directed towards AAP. The CEC has ordered only 20000 VVPAT machines. Unles...

Re: Statewide and National runup to 2014 General elections

In response to a question the CEC said that they had good experience with the VVPAT machines in Mizoram and Nagaland and orders for 20000 such machines have been placed. They are hoping to receive these soon. These will be deployed in as many constituencies as possible :eek: :-? Swamy tweeted yester...
