People are absolutely right in using the name EVM Government in India. If the government considers it as a shame, they are perfectly free to remove all EVMs from the country. Or they can even remove themselves from the government. And if they believe EVMs are perfectly legitimate, then what is the shame in being called an EVM Government?

Political parties, newspapers and television channels have no place in deciding whether voting machines are to be retained or removed because they never contributed to either initiating or carrying on this particular discussion. It is people who initiated this discussion in the country in the social media independent of the print and visual media and the politicians and are leading it. Let the discussion proceed in the social media and let people discuss the merits and demerits of ballot papers and electronic or mechanical voting machines.

There is a ton of literature in internet on this subject, contributed by other countries which introduced or banned electronic voting machines which the people are perfectly free to read. As a result, today, the opponents of voting machines are far better leanrnèd and advanced than the supporters of voting machines and that is why the discussions on this issue go unbalanced. Let people read everything, discuss and tell politicians, media and the government whether they want voting machines to go and ballot papers to be brought back or the electronic voting machines to remain. No political parties, newspapers or television channels asked people to discuss this issue and no one- repeat ‘no one’- has a right to ask people to stop it. Let this discussion proceed in the social media and let people express their firm opinions. Why should a government and its supporters fear a people’s discussion on voting machines if they did not manipulate them to win the elections?
