My comment about EVMs were published in the online edition of THE HINDU*

“I am an electronics engineer with over 30 years of experience in microcontrollers, the same type of chip that controls the EVMs and I know what I am talking. It is hilarious that many people who cannot even spell the word E-L-E-C-T-R-O-N-I-C-S are coming up with downright stupid and outlandish conspiracy theories. I think their strategy is very simple: If BJP wins, then the EVMs are rigged. If any party opposed to BJP wins, then those EVMs are pristine ! What kind of idiotic logic is this ! The EVMs are far more immune to any kind of tampering than paper ballots. The Election Commision threw an open challenge to all political parties to prove that the EVM could be hacked. Not one party took up the challenge. The next time any stupid politician comes up with wild conspiracy theories, the Election commission should take him to court and see to it that he is put in jail, for needlessly undermining democracy”.
