INDIA Bloc Demands Paper Ballots, Targets CEC and PM Modi over Voter Roll Row
Kharge said 13.3 crore voters were removed and called for a joint opposition plan to restore confidence in India’s election system.
- On Wednesday, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge urged the INDIA bloc to demand paper ballots and pre-Special Intensive Revision electoral rolls for future elections to restore transparency and democratic integrity.
- Kharge claimed Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar "stands totally exposed" after fellow commissioners objected 14 times in 10 months, demanding Kumar resign for "interfering" in electoral rolls.
- Alleging that 13.3 crore voters were removed from lists, Kharge stated young citizens are being discouraged from voting through Election Commission rule changes, while Rahul Gandhi provided proof of exclusions in Haryana and Maharashtra.
- Kharge alleged Narendra Modi and Amit Shah used the 2023 Bill to replace the CJI with a Minister on the selection panel, creating a "rubber stamp" to help them remain in power.
- Emphasizing that "the power of government ultimately rests in the hands of the people," Kharge called for a joint action plan protecting the "one person, one vote, one value" principle at the heart of the Republic.
