CWC Meets on SIR Row, to Prepare Roadmap for Ramping up Pressure on CEC, Govt
Congress leaders met to plan pressure on Gyanesh Kumar as the opposition prepares a joint move in Parliament over alleged SIR irregularities.
- Top Congress leaders met on Tuesday to discuss strategy against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, citing "differences" within the Election Commission and alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision process.
- Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi reportedly objected on record at least 14 times over 10 months to SIR decisions, which the Election Commission insists follow established statutory procedures and carry full legal sanction.
- Rahul Gandhi visited Bela Estate to address reports that 727 names were removed from a list of 728 registered voters, prompting residents to question the deletion despite completing the required Special Intensive Revision forms.
- The opposition INDIA bloc plans to meet Wednesday to coordinate strategy, with Congress likely filing a notice in Parliament seeking removal of CEC Kumar, whom leaders labeled a front for the "diabolical PM-HM duo."
- Petitions before the Supreme Court regarding the Election Commission's powers reflect a broader debate over voter participation, institutional procedures, and the responsibilities of election authorities in protecting democracy.
