Kejriwal demands re-election in Delhi, Haryana, Bihar and Bengal amid reported EC rift over SIR
Kejriwal said more than 130 million voter names were deleted illegally and urged opposition parties to unite against the Election Commission's SIR exercise.
- On Wednesday, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray and Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal demanded the arrest of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar following an Indian Express investigation into alleged unilateral decision-making within the Election Commission.
- The Indian Express investigation found Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi formally objected at least 14 times over 10 months to orders they alleged were issued without their knowledge or approval.
- Sandhu described one decision as "unauthorised and illegal," while Kejriwal alleged the Special Intensive Revision process, which removed more than 130 million names, was conducted without proper Commission approval.
- Kejriwal demanded re-elections in Delhi, Haryana, Bihar, and West Bengal, while Thackeray called for fresh polls in Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal using ballot papers instead of Electronic Voting Machines.
- Opposition leaders urged restoring voter lists from three years ago, with Kejriwal stating he plans to coordinate with other opposition parties to collectively raise these concerns across the country.
