Rahul Mehta Gandhinagar LsCandidate
We finally forced Subramanian Swamy to tell all that if 65 candidates are put, Election Commission will trash EVM and use paper ballots
On 31-jul-2009, I gave newspaper-ad in Indian Express Delhi, Ahmedabad, Mumbai citing the fact that if activists or political-parties put 65+ candidates, then EC will be forced to use paper ballot , see facebook .com /photo .php?fbid=10151109562951922 . I asked Subramanian Swamy to publicize this proposal in activists, but SS never passed this information. . Then in oct-2012, I gave first page ad in Gujarat Samachar Ahmedabad citing same fact on 65 candidates, see facebook .com /photo .php?fbid=10151113987121922 . And via Facebook, I and other Right to Recall party members informed 1000s of non-80G-activists. BST activists also played important role. (remove space from url or see 1st comment)
As more and more activists knew about 65 candidates feature or loophole, they asked Subramanian Swamy about it. Subramanium Swamy kept dilly dallying , but when number of activists grew large, finally Subramaniam Swamy was forced to say on tweeter in public that "in case ECI does not use the new VVPAT EVM in some constituencies, I urge 64 PTs of that constituency to file nominations as Independents. " , see twitter .com /Swamy39/status/387759320537919488 .
But please note that SS could have filed 65 candidates in one assembly election after may-2009 to create a demo. But he never did that. Why not? Because he never wanted activists to know about this 65 candidate limitation. But when activists started knowing anyway, he was left with no option but to state it. And now MNC\Missionary-paid media will now give credit to their agent SS.
So my media-advt and facebook campaign worked. Through advertisements and FB etc , I could inform 10000-50000 non-80G-activists about 65 candidate loophole. And this forced Subramanian Swamy to tell it to many more.

With 65 candidate loophole known to all, EVM is now dead. So CIA will now not use EVM . And anyway, CIA has now facebook to influence over 10% votes of India --- about 5% directly via facebook and about another 5% via facebook users . So one tool of CIA namely EVM is now gone. But they have another tool namely Facebook ready.
