BJP has won by fraud in the EVM. What is your opinion about that?

Bengaluru: Being an employee in a PSU, I had been assigned duties as a polling officer a couple of times (2013 MP LA election and 2014 LS election). There is a fixed procedure for polling with EVMs, so that every candidate is satisfied with the fairness in polling and the EVM.

Generally election starts at 8AM(somewhere 7AM also). All the polling officers and presiding officer have to present 1hr prior to the polling time. Agents of different parties also are present there. In their presence the designated officers have to conduct a mock polling and show all the agents that the EVM is working fine(like it is registering the votes or not, registering for the right candidate or not, it’s showing correct counting or not, etc. ). Then again in the presence of all the agents the designated officer locks and seals the EVM and countersign on it along with all the agents, so that nobody can make any alteration in the machine after it has been locked. After the completion of poll the EVM is sealed off completely and again with the sign of agents. Then it is submitted to the collectorate office. At the time of counting, again the EVM is opened in front of the agents of candidates. Hence there is no chance of a victory of any party by doing fraud in the EVM.

So, with my experience all these accusations are baseless and if BJP has some other way to tamper with the EVMs why hasn’t it done that in other states?
