First, Modi kicks the Chief Justice off the panel that picks the election Commissioner. Then he rammed through a law that made the ec completely immune from prosecution. Next, the supreme court is somehow convinced that live videos of the voting process aren’t necessary.
All of this while Modi was still getting crushed in the polls.
Then comes the real magic.
The election commission starts quietly adding lakhs of votes in key seats. Even after the sleight of hand, they only scrape together 240 seats — no majority. Some insiders whisper that at least 70 of those seats are highly questionable.
And the convenience doesn’t stop there.
On voting day, the ec suddenly stops announcing the number of voters at the end of each phase. They launch a “Special Intensive Revision” to quietly delete lakhs of names from the rolls. Percentages? Released a full week later. The entire election is spread across five separate phases, and the results are declared nearly a month after the last vote.
Oh, and don’t forget the EVMs — the ultimate black box for anyone who wants to “manage” outcomes.
How bloody convenient.
Every single safeguard was dismantled, every check was neutered, and when the people still tried to vote them out… the numbers just quietly changed until the desired result appeared. This wasn’t democracy.
This was a masterclass in how to win while losing — and make sure nobody can ever prove it.
