Question

After elections in telangana comments about election commission

Answer 1

The EC will meet on Friday to discuss the Telangana assembly polls after the Rao government dissolved the House more than eight months before the end of its term. EC will follow this up by sending a team of officials to assess the ground situation. The team’s feedback will be critical in deciding when the polls will be held.

Answer 2

Hi,

The Congress is complaining that electronic voting machines may have been manipulated in Telangana, the one state where Congress has failed to live up to predictions in the five-state assembly elections, results for which are being announced right now.

The Congress was set to lose Mizoram, the party's last Northeast bastion with exit polls predicting a clear victory for the Mizo National Front. However, who would win the Telangana assembly elections was a question up in the air with some exit polls giving the Congress a fighting chance there.

Today's election results however showed otherwise. As election trends and results poured in, K Chandrasekhar Rao's Telangana Rashtra Samithi looked set to colour the state pink and register a thumping victory.

The TRS had won or was leading on 84 seats in Telangana, as of last updating this report. The Congress was a distant second with 22 wins or leads.

Meanwhile, the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee's election unit dashed off a letter to the Telangana Chief Electoral Officer saying that the party suspected that EVMs had been manipulated.

The party said the EVMs were showing "distorted" trends that were far away from ground realities. And so, the party demanding, the State Election Commission must verify each and every vote cast in the Telangana elections with the slips printed by voter verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT) machines.

VVPAT are machines that print out a slip confirming the vote cast on an EVM. The voter who casts the vote can see the slip but cannot collect it. The slip drops into a protected box. The Election Commission can later tally the printouts with the votes counted on EVMs to check for anomalies and possible manipulation.

The Congress claims such manipulation has happened in Telangana and so wants the votes tallied.
