@LauraVolpintesta Scraping by on part time jobs. That’s my career at Parsons in NYC. I used to be FT faculty but was fired in the middle for having a baby and put back to PT, 17 years into my career there. When I was paid well as FT, I was a very different teacher because I was thriving, not mined.

EVMs and VVPATs: Why Suspicions Persist, and Won't Subside Yet  https://thewire.in/rights/evms-and-vvpats-why-suspicions-persist-and-wont-subside-yet

The discrepancy in the expansion of VVPAT, recorded as "Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail" in patent-related records, raises questions about the legitimacy and functioning of these voting systems. Moreover, do we know enough about the microcontrollers used in the EVM-VVPAT combo?

VVPAT is expanded differently in the patent-related records as “Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail” and not “Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail”.

यही तो है प्यारे, चंदे का धंधा | New exposé in electoral funding  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCa8QUOAQPU Ravish Kumar Official Feb 23, 2024
कांग्रेस पार्टी ने वित्त मंत्री को पत्र लिख कर पूछा है कि क्या कंपनियों पर छापे डलवा कर उन्हें मजबूर किया जा रहा है कि वे दूसरे दल को चंदा न दें, केवल बीजेपी को चंदा दें। वैसे अभी तक जिस सरकार ने इलेक्टोरल बॉन्ड को रद्द किए जाने के फैसले पर ही कुछ नहीं कहा है, वो कांग्रेस के पत्र का क्या ही जवाब देगी। कांग्रेस ने आरोप लगाया है कि बैंकों को मजबूर किया गया है कि पार्टी के खाते से पैसे सरकार के पास पहुंच जाए। कुछ दिन पहले कांग्रेस के खाते फ़्रीज़ कर दिए गए थे।
2024 का चुनाव सामने है। विपक्ष आर्थिक रुप से कमज़ोर हो चुका है। विपक्षी दलों को राजनीतिक रुप से तोड़ दिया गया है। गोदी मीडिया विपक्ष को बराबर की जगह नहीं देता है। विपक्ष मैदान में खड़ा नज़र नहीं आए इसका सारा इंतज़ाम कर दिया गया है। चारों तरफ आपको भाजपा के ही पोस्टर औऱ प्रचार नज़र आ रहे हैं। चुनाव शुरू होने से पहले हाथ पांव बांध कर विपक्ष को तालाब में फेंक दिया गया है ताकि वह डूब जाए।

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaCW2XMwLfs  Join as we talk about our political funding investigation The News Minute
Our three-part investigative series about poll funding in India is out.

In the first part, we dropped hints about how the BJP’s financial rise has been driven by a drastic surge in donations, and how there is a pattern to that money flow in several cases. In the second installment, we revealed a long list of corporate donors which gave money to the BJP and also faced action by central agencies. And in the final part, we explored the role of electoral trusts and what India Inc’s ‘semi anonymity’ reveals.

But how did this series come about? How much time did Newslaundry and The News Minute spend trying to make this story happen? What were the editorial challenges for this collaborative project? What next? And what does this all mean for a country preparing to vote in a new government?

In this YouTube live, we will discuss the investigation and respond to all the feedback from subscribers. Moderated by Manisha Pande, the session will include Raman Kirpal and Prateek Goyal from Newslaundry and Dhanya Rajendran and Korah Abraham from The News Minute.

Part 1: Behind the BJP’s rise and rise, bonds, trusts and raids on corporates

Corporate funding of politics is a controversial subject. More so in India, where most of the money in recent years has gone to only one party. But there is a pattern to this money flow.

hese are some of the findings of Newslaundry and The News Minute’s analysis of Election Commission records, case files, and financial statements between the financial years 2018-19 and 2022-23. In some cases, donations were made during or after raids were conducted on the company and in some others, the companies that donated the money received licences or clearances.

However, in some cases, the agency action continued despite the donations.
