Appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner under the Collegium system should be done with the recommendations of the PAC of Parliament

The big game about EVMs started when the Modi government was formed, when many fingers were raised on the EVMs, the BJP changed its maneuver and made a drama of deliberate defeat in the assembly elections of many states so that EVMs can be vindicated.  .

The reality is that the Election Commission being an autonomus body has taken away their independence by the present government and the Election Commission has started to run directly from the PMO.

As long as the appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner is made by the recommendations of the PMO, the game of EVMs will continue, because the appointment of the Election Commissioner, the PM appoints his favorite retired IAS.

The appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner should also be based on the collegium system which can be selected through the PAC of Parliament.
