Out-of-the-box Party!
On December 11, 2018, the entire country was awaiting the big assembly polls results with bated breath. But the EC website curiously shut shop for two full hours. The reason was out in the morning: the website sort of crashed as a Mizoram party's name had over 60 letters, the reserved number. PRISM was registered on October 15, 2018, and someone clearly forgot to add up the 62-letter name. PRISM is in the fray again, with radical views (see p 27). Hope EC’s systems don’t go kaput again with a name that ticks more boxes than there are.
