The Deceptive Game: Unmasking BJP's Alleged Election Manipulation

 The Deceptive Game: Unmasking BJP's Alleged Election Manipulation


Questionable Democracy

 

A few months before the 2024 national election in India, I began raising alarms about the BJP's prospects. The much-hyped Ram Temple inauguration failed to generate the expected support for the BJP, while Rahul Gandhi's nearly 10,000 km walk across India was drawing people towards him, creating a spectacle that unnerved the BJP. Their internal polls showed a grim reality: the BJP was on the verge of losing. Nitish Kumar's efforts in uniting opposition parties under a single front only added to the BJP's woes. Opposition leaders, once lacking confidence, were now roaring like lions, ready for the fight.

The refusal of Sanatan Dharma's religious leaders to join Modi at the incomplete Ram Temple turned the inauguration into a gathering for the elite, rather than a true religious event. The locals in Ayodhya saw through this facade. Faced with potential defeat, the BJP allegedly devised a devious plan to manipulate the election. They changed the rules to exclude the Chief Justice of India from the Election Commission selection committee, and the Election Commission of India (ECI) refused to allow examination of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). They reportedly conducted covert operations to identify seats that could be won by altering 5 to 7% of the votes, leaving larger margins untouched, all aimed at keeping Modi in power.

The BJP launched "Operation Bihar," potentially leveraging compromising information against Nitish Kumar to lure him back into their fold. They allegedly used government machinery to manipulate votes in various regions, including Delhi. Knowing Arvind Kejriwal was a significant threat, they arrested him, despite a scheduled hearing to review the validity of the summons from the EC. The BJP also froze Congress party accounts, resurrected decades-old charges, and arrested another chief minister to weaken the opposition.

Amit Shah reportedly accumulated damaging files on judges, DGPs, and bureaucrats, ensuring their compliance. FIRs detail power failures at counting centers where opposition candidates led, only for results to change post-restoration. A policy change allowing government officials to collect votes from people over 80, reduced from the previous 85, was discovered in Maharashtra when the gap between winning and losing candidates was just 48 votes. This policy, implemented nationwide, allowed the BJP to selectively gather votes favoring them.

This systematic election manipulation kept the INDIA bloc under 250 seats, enabling the BJP to form a government with other groups. The nature of this election raises serious questions about its democratic integrity. If the BJP were confident in their decade of governance, they would have let the opposition take over and risk failure. Instead, both Modi and Shah feared the INDIA bloc would uncover their crimes and send them to prison. Evidence of these crimes is reportedly documented in government ledgers and Supreme Court findings.

Modi's anxiety is palpable when meeting with Nitish Kumar and Chandrababu Naidu, unsure when they might switch sides. Naidu's demand for 16,000 crore rupees as a development installment for his state signals potential internal conflict and future instability. This political drama, unfolding at the expense of the Indian people, highlights the true cost of power struggles in the nation. The real tragedy is that in this entire charade, it is the people of India who are the ultimate losers.
