I Love Swimming in Sea when It's Rough: Rahul Gandhi in Cryptic Social Media Post

The post follows an Indian Express report that two election commissioners objected at least 14 times to decisions on the Special Intensive Revision.

  • On Sunday, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi shared a cryptic social media post about swimming in rough seas, stating "I love swimming in the sea when it's rough. It teaches you that rough is just another kind of calm."
  • The post follows an investigative report by The Indian Express published on September 23, revealing that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi formally objected at least 14 times over 10 months to SIR decisions issued without their knowledge.
  • Accusing Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar of "match-fixing elections," Gandhi cited claims by Keralam Chief Secretary Jiji Thomson that Kumar suggested he contest the 2019 election as a BJP candidate while serving as an IAS officer.
  • The Election Commission rejected allegations of disagreement over SIR decisions, maintaining that all decisions were taken with the "unanimous approval of the Commission" and clarifying that recent correspondence involved personnel matters unrelated to policy.
  • Gandhi stated the news report corroborates his earlier allegations of "vote chori" raised last year, as the ongoing controversy continues to draw criticism from Opposition parties regarding the functioning of the poll panel.
