Do watch this important video interview of a polling agent by Poonam Agarwal. In this video, the polling agent talks about how he and many other polling agents are not aware of the importance of Form 17c, and more. Important watch.

I would request journalists with lakhs of followers on social media to talk about Form 17C to create awareness. Please interview polling agents n candidates if possible.

I have uploaded one video interview of a polling agent on my ExplainX YT channel. But my channel's reach

Listen to this polling agent who said many agents aren't aware nor are they briefed about Form 17C & the information it provides like votes polled numbers, BU, CU & VVPAT serial nos. Hence they do not collect it.

Without the Form 17C a candidate cannot

The says 'his arrest and remand were illegal,'...who is going to pay for his sufferings? Will action be ordered against the investigating agency officials?

When Anjali Bhardwaj Shabnam Hashmi and other civil society members went to Election Commission of India HQ yesterday (14 May) to submit petition demanding votes polled data in absolute numbers, the CEC didn't meet because he was busy & so were his juniors. ExplainX

Thank you for sharing this Mahua Moitra
I wish all other candidates do the same and make their votes polled numbers data public.
If candidates can do, for Election Commission of India to share absolutely numbers is much easier.

My question to the after reading its response to the party President -
Aren't 'We, the People' of India have the right to know the absolute numbers of votes polled data?

Why the EC is quiet on emails and letters

In a letter to the Chief Election Commission, the journalist bodies made two demands —

• Hold press conference after voting in each phase

• Release entire poll data, including “absolute number” of votes polled in each phase and percentage of voting by next day. Election Commission of India

This is so so so painful. My heart goes out to him.

I didn't have the courage to hear him again.

Life is not about religion, it's about humanity and care. If we want peace in our society then we have to choose wisely.

May God bless him with everything he needs. 🙏
