Why Some Journalists Crude­ly Oppose Paper Ballots? | EVM, SIR & VVPAT Debate Exposed

Why do some journalists still crudely defend EVMs and oppose the growing demand for paper ballots, even as SIR deletions and VVPAT doubts erode public trust? In this exclusive interview, senior journalist Ayyanathan.k breaks down the ignorance, selective arguments, and missing context behind the resistance to ballot papers. Across India, the INDIA bloc and others are pushing hard for a return to paper ballots amid the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, concerns over CEC Gyanesh Kumar, VVPAT verification gaps, and large-scale voter deletions. Yet a section of the media continues to dismiss these demands without engaging the actual technical and procedural questions. Ayyanathan cuts through the noise with clear, evidence-based points on EVM limitations, booth-level secrecy issues, and why paper ballots remain a practical option for restoring confidence. Watch the full conversation to hear his direct responses on BJP and Congress positions, the difference between genuine scrutiny and blind loyalty to machines, and what voters should demand from the Election Commission right now. The discussion stays grounded in facts, past court observations, and on-ground realities rather than slogans. #evm #PaperBallots #sir #vvpat #electioncommission #ayyanathan #indianelections #bjp #congress #voterrights #eci #democracy #tamilnadupolitics MAA NATURALS FERTILITY WELLNESS CENTRE Head Office Chennai Contact: 7550005857/9043464054 Address: No116, 2nd Floor, Sri Devi Kuppam Main Road, Valasaravakkam, Chennai -600087.
