When BJP's former Union Minister Chandrashekhar, who says technology is at hands, replied to Elon Musk's statement that voting machines should not be trusted, why didn’t he say about microdots, which are nowadays nano computers that can be auto programmed without internet or Bluetooth? Microdots would look like dust on the body of EVMs, no one will notice, and once programmed it needs no internet or Bluetooth to keep working- just turning-on the machine! It can be set in such a way that the operation does not start when suppose one hundred or one hundred and fifty votes are entered. Therefore, it will not appear in the test ballots and nothing suspicious will happen.

After that it can convert any number of votes polled to a specific symbol by a certain percentage on a conceivably random basis. It never requires an external control and technology for that, for executing its command. Only that it should be done in the central institutions during the manufacturing phase or transportation of the voting machines. The results of its operation can be known only when the votes are counted. It is not that the Central IT Minister and Chairman of Asianet Communications does not know this, but he does not intend to start any more speculation on the limited success that already his BJP has achieved so far due to this method. But because it was Elon Musk, someone from BJP in India had to give even a blunt reply to the statement.

Microdots, used since the 1920s and during the World War II for secret transmission of information and images and espionage, have no longer any meaning other than a small dot, as all those needs have been surpassed, supplemented or replaced by those consigned to fixed printed dots that are painted, glued, or etched and the time has arrived to use them that way. However, it is doubtful whether the BJP candidates would have been able to use this successfully if they were not contesting under a single symbol, under symbols other than the lotus. As a coalition front, when there is a situation where more and more constituent parties are involved and to be more and more depended, it is difficult to insert their symbols too into it at the manufacturing stage. Have you ever heard of any of the Election Commission and the BJP who are the fans and defenders and consumers of electronic voting machines in India talk about microdots and nano computers?
