1. Is the world's biggest election in the world's largest democracy 🇮🇳, moving away from being a free and fair election?

"There have been serious concerns regarding the country’s electoral process due to lack of public trust in EVM/VVPAT voting, reports of arbitrary deletions in Electoral Rolls and increased secrecy in political party funding," writes Devasahayam MG, Former Army and IAS Officer.

Over 1,400 people have signed his petition asking @ECISVEEP to "implement its constitutional mandate and conduct a free and fair election".

🧵👇 2. "Though the ECI has arranged for all EVMs to be accompanied with VVPATS, the 'Voter-Verifiable Paper Trail' has been reduced to the level of a ‘bioscope’ which shows up a tiny ‘paper slip’ for seven seconds which then vanishes and is not counted."

"They’ll tell you there’s nothing wrong with electronic voting machines (EVMs), that activists are being overly suspicious. Then why have Germany, most of Europe, and even the US returned to paper ballots for voting? Why can’t the ECI also count a paper trail to verify the votes tallied by EVMs and allay our ‘suspicions’?" ~ Devasahayam MG Former Army & IAS Officer Change.org/CleanUpElections

Citizens have been campaigning against the ban in Delhi-NCR on 10-yo diesel and 15-yo petrol vehicles. They claim the policy isn't scientific as it doesn't consider a vehicle's level of maintenance and the number of kilometres it has driven.

🧵(1/n)

@akhileshsharma1 @thesatbir .@tsinghbedi's petition, with 50k+ signs, is asking the govt to exempt senior citizens from Delhi-NCR's ban on old vehicles.

He argues that it is difficult for retired non-pensioners to invest huge sums in buying new cars.

This video of a cop removing a busker from CP, enraged many. But for Ishamuddin Khan, a magician and street performer, his outrage at this incident was personal.

Years ago, he saw his father, also a magician, suffer the same way. @rajeshtailang @iamrana

"As an Indian magician, I get more respect for my craft overseas, than in my own country. Abroad, I can accumulate small crowds at public squares in a moment and earn a living as a busker. In India, I’m seen as an encroacher on public spaces," he writes.
