We were told the Special Intensive Revision was housekeeping. A few duplicates. Some dead voters. Rolls uncleaned for four decades. Reasonable enough. Every democracy needs accurate lists.

Watch what the cleaning did.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗜𝗥 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗱

• Goa: officers found 97 flagged voters eligible. The central software had no button to restore them. The CEO wrote 8 letters in 8 days. No reply. All 97 deleted.

• West Bengal: deletions exceeded the victory margin in 49 of 294 seats. More names removed than the votes that decided the seat.

• 27 lakh people deleted even after the Supreme Court took the final stage away from the ECI.

• 34 lakh appeals pending. Only 38,000 heard. 70% of those heard ended in reinstatement. The deletion was wrong most of the time.

• Calcutta High Court: at this pace, 21 years to clear the backlog.

• Three state orders already deny welfare benefits to people the SIR excluded.

Election Commissioners Vivek Joshi and Sukhbir Sandhu, appointed through the same government-controlled process as the CEC:

• Recorded objections 14 times in 10 months. Four times in one day.

• Called Commission actions "unauthorised and illegal."

• Complained to the Cabinet Secretary after oversight of the electoral roll IT backbone was quietly removed.

• The three Commissioners did not meet as a body for 4 months.

This is not the opposition talking. This is the institution testifying against itself.

"Vote chori, kanun chori, sanstha chori."

"I have shown it with proof, and there is already more than enough information to make this a 100 per cent certainty that Indian elections, Lok Sabha elections, 2024 election, Vidhan Sabha elections are all being rigged."

His three questions, still unanswered:
1. Why was the CJI removed from the CEC selection panel?
2. Why did the PM give election commissioners protection no PM ever gave before?
3. Why was the law changed so CCTV footage from booths can be destroyed after 45 days?

He calls it "the biggest anti-national act."

𝗡𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹

In 2023, the BJP government removed the Chief Justice of India from the selection panel and installed a cabinet minister. The Supreme Court called it the "tyranny of the elected."

A few duplicate names was the pretext. A captured referee was the project.

We demand:
1. Immediate roll back of the SIR
2. An independent audit
3. Gyanesh Kumar's resignation

Constitutional office is a trust, not a bunker. No one will be spared once the corrupt, anti-democratic tyrants are out of power. The corrupt system is crumbling from inside. It's only a matter of time that it collapses.

Dear @TVMohandasPai,

It’s a pity that after serving the BJP and sangh loyally with your abusive tongue for more than 13 years, Modi hasn't given you a Rajya Sabha ticket.

Should we try to raise this issue more loudly so that Modiji feels pity and offers you an RS seat? We are more than happy to do so.

Who committed vote theft? Gyanesh Kumar did.

Who is fighting against vote theft? The Congress Party.

The CWC has demanded action against vote theft.

So why is the BJP so hurt and troubled by it?

Why is the BJP running from one press conference to another?

It is clear: Gyanesh committed vote theft at Modi’s behest.

[Congress Kerala @INCKerala]

Former Union Home Secretary & former Union Minister in Modi’s cabinet R.K. Singh has raised serious questions on SIR and CEC Gyanesh Kumar alleging unlawful voter deletions, due-process violations and centralisation of electoral rolls.

These are serious concerns about electoral integrity.

We hope you’ll read his full letter. 🇮🇳

[R. K. Singh @RajKSinghIndia]

An open letter to all my countrymen.

Do you want India to remain a democracy? Then you must understand what Gyanesh Kumar, the CEC, and his bosses are doing in the so-called SIR.
They are violating the law.
- As per Section 21 of the law, a special revision is to be undertaken only in special cases, for reasons to be recorded in writing in each case; and that also only in any constituency or part of a constituency. An order for intensive revision for the whole country was illegal. An exception allowed for special cases cannot become the rule. The Supreme Court order upholding the general SIR was wrong.
Another question is - who took the decision for SIR in the whole country? Was it the full commission; or only Gyanesh Kumar.
- Section 21 of the Representation of the People Act, 1950, provides that where the revision of an electoral roll is taken up, the electoral roll in force at the time of the issue of the notification of revision shall continue in effect till the completion of the revision. The revised electoral rolls become complete only after all the appeals filed against inclusion or deletion are disposed off. Where the appeals were still pending, the original Electoral roll which was valid on the date of notification was to be used. Contrary to this the new roll with deletions was used during the elections even though appeals against deletions were still pending. This was illegal.

- Section 22 of the RP Act provides that the Electoral Registration Officer, and not anyone else, can remove a voter's name from the roll and that also only on the grounds listed in Section 22(a), (b), and (c); and only after a specific enquiry, after giving the concerned person a reasonable opportunity of being heard, and only after appeals against his order are disposed off. Gyanesh Kumar removed the names of all the voters who had been listed by the ERO's after 2003, without any basis, without any enquiry, and without any show cause to the registered voters. This was blatantly illegal.
The persons whose names were removed summarily had to apply as fresh voters in Form 6 and give evidence that they were eligible to be registered. This is a clear violation of the Supreme Court judgement in Lal Babu Hussain and Others v. Electoral Registration Officer and Others, [(1995) 3 SCC 100], which held that the enquiry authority or the objector and not the voter - must bring forth material evidence to back any claim that an enrolled voter be disqualified. And in such cases the voter must be asked to show cause why his name should not be removed on the basis of the grounds adduced by the enquiry officer. All this did not happen.

The established jurisprudence is that the onus to prove that there are sufficient grounds for subjecting any person to a disability or punishment is on the
person or institution which is seeking to inflict the punishment. Here, Gyanesh Kumar has inverted the burden of proof. This is also against the law.

Up to now, the efforts of the Government and the Election Commission have always been to enroll all eligible voters. It was a mission to deepen democracy and empower all citizens. This is the first time in history of the country that the mission is to disenfranchise people.

Gyanesh Kumar added a new appendix to Form 6. He was not authorised to do so, as Form 6 is mandated by statutory rules. And he added this himself – against the views of the two election commissioners. The decisions of the commission are to be taken either unanimously – or by a majority. The majority was against the addition of the new appendix to the form. So the addition of the new appendix was against the decisions of the Commission itself. So why was it added? On whose orders? This was illegal. This appendix asks the applicant to state the serial number in the 2003 voter list on which their parents' names were listed. Where can an ordinary person – a young man of 18; access the 2003 roll in 2026? This stopped the registration of all young voters. BJP knows that young voters will not vote for it.

Objections to inclusion of voters names in form 7 were filed in bulk. Who filed them? How were the forms accepted and acted upon when the persons who signed it did not appear?

Names of 16 lac voters found valid by the ERO were not registered in Bengal because, it seems, the EC filed appeals against them. Why? On which grounds? Who authorised the Commission to file appeals? Two Election Commissioners say they did not do so. So the Commission did not authorise anyone to file appeals. Who did it? Gyanesh Kumar? These people were prevented from voting in the election.

So the Election Commission and some people from a political party were acting in cahoots to get bogus Form 7 objections filed in bulk and delete names?

How were elections allowed to be held when the appeals of lakhs of voters were pending? The ECI and the Supreme Court have to answer. The appeals which have been decided show that 90% of the voters who were left out were valid.

A ridiculous thing was brought up called "logical discrepancy". Gyanesh Kumar does not have any idea of how the poor live in India. Their children are not born in hospitals. They do not have birth certificates. They do not have calendars in their homes. When the BLO approached them to enroll them in the voter list they gave their estimated year of birth. Similarly, when their fathers' names were enrolled in the electoral roll, they gave their estimated year of birth. The dumb people in the Election Commission, under Gyanesh Kumar, said that any difference of less than 15 years between father and children would be a logical discrepancy justifying excluding their names. The “Logical Discrepancy” names were excluded without enquiry, contrary to sec 21 of the act.

The largest number of exclusions have been the poor and the underprivileged, those without a voice. They were and are mostly away from their homes, earning their daily bread. Lakhs are working in faraway places/states. They could not and cannot afford to go back to their homes for a month to get their names registered. They will go hungry if they do not earn. They cannot fill the complicated forms. They do not have birth certificates and the papers. Why should they sacrifice their daily wages for a vote?

The illegal immigrants are not affected. The first thing they do on entering India is to get their documentation made—Aadhaar card, ration card, etc. The earlier immigrants are their support systems. It is the poor Indian citizens who have been disenfranchised. The dumb people in the Election Commission and their bosses did not understand this. Or they wanted it this way.

Gyanesh Kumar has made a digital electoral roll and empowered it to refuse addition of names because of “Logical discrepancy”. In the name of "Logical discrepancy", the names of millions of voters have not been included. This is against the law. The only authority designated by law to add or delete names and publish the electoral rolls is the Electoral Registration Officer. Contrary to this, the electoral roll was centralised and the revision happened centrally. This was illegal.

Two Election Commissioners pointed out that the only people authorized to add or delete names – the ERO, the DEO and the CEO were not being allowed to access the voter list. In Goa, 97 electors were found by the ERO to be valid and fit for inclusion in the roll. They have not been able to add their names to the roll as yet.

The centralisation of the voter list amendment is dangerous. It can be used to cut voters from booths which vote against NDA. Is this what happened?

Deleting voters names before verification is a heinous offence, and Gyanesh Kumar is guilty thereof.

13 crores names have been deleted by SIR so far. This is 13% of the voters, and SIR is not over. The difference between NDA and INDIA in the 2024 elections was only 3%. So the deletion have had and will have a material impact on the elections.

The press note issued after the Commission meeting on 26th September confirms the illegalities mentioned above.

Did Gyanesh Kumar commit all these illegalities himself or was he directed to do so by his bosses?

The Opposition says that they will impeach Gyanesh Kumar. That is an exercise in futility. They just do not have the numbers. If they really want a remedy, they should file criminal cases against Gyanesh Kumar.

The next step to be taken is that all opposition parties should unite and say that they will not participate in any election till the CEC and Election Commissioners' resign and the selection of their successors is as per the previous selection system, with the Prime Minister, the Leader of the Opposition, and a sitting Supreme Court judge. Elections held in states while the appeals of lakhs of voters were pending must be set aside and fresh elections held. And the poll must be held by ballot not by EVMs because no electronic system has yet been invented which cannot be hacked. That is why none of the economically and digitally advanced countries use EVMs.

If we want to preserve our democracy the whole country will need to be made aware and united.

The reputation of the Supreme Court has been besmirched by the judgement on SIR. It is at par in infamy with the judgement upholding the emergency. Hon’ble Judges may please note.

The procrastination on the challenge to the law on selection of Election Commissioners is also sending a bad message about the Supreme Court – as it is an open and shut case that the Election Commissioners should not be selected by the party in power; but by a neutral selection committee to ensure their neutrality.
Let us unite to save our democracy.

We had a 2.5-hour-long CWC meeting to discuss the most important issue concerning the CEC and the fraudulent electoral system.

The entire Working Committee congratulated Rahul Gandhi ji for taking up one of the biggest issues facing Indian democracy through the Vote Chori campaign.

For the last 18 months, he has consistently raised this issue and presented evidence showing that the CEC is compromised, the election system is rigged, and the system is designed to benefit the BJP.

WE DEMAND

🔹The immediate resignation of CEC Gyanesh Kumar, who has forfeited all moral and institutional authority.

🔹The immediate suspension of the SIR in view of serious concerns regarding the integrity and transparency of the electoral rolls being prepared through the SIR, as well as the constitutional validity of the SIR process itself.

🔹The immediate restoration of the 13 crore 30 lakh names removed from the electoral rolls.

🔹This brazen Vote Chori has been organised by the CEC on behalf of the Prime Minister and the Home
Minister. We demand the immediate resignation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Today, Rahul ji reminded us of the Lahore Congress Session of 1930.

At that time, when the British denied even provincial autonomy to the Indian National Congress, we took the decision to launch a movement for Purna Swaraj.

Whenever the present government refuses to listen to the voice of the people of this country or heed their demands, there is only one way forward for parties that believe in democracy: to resist.

Therefore, we are going to resist through peaceful demonstrations and peaceful movements across the country.

नेता विपक्ष श्री राहुल गांधी जी ने CWC की मीटिंग में प्रमुख मुद्दों को उठाया।

'वोट चोरी' जैसे खुलासे कांग्रेस पार्टी के कारण ही हो रहे हैं। राहुल गांधी जी पिछले दो साल से 'वोट चोरी' का मुद्दा उठा रहे हैं।

कर्नाटक के महादेवपुरा का चुनाव, हरियाणा और महाराष्ट्र चुनाव को लेकर उन्होंने सारी जानकारी जनता के सामने रखी।

हमारे देश में जो चुनाव हो रहे हैं, वो निष्पक्ष नहीं हैं, ये नरेंद्र मोदी, अमित शाह और ज्ञानेश कुमार के बीच मैच फिक्सिंग वाला चुनाव है।

'वोट चोरी' की सरकार द्वारा जो कानून पारित किए गए और अधिनियम बनाए गए हैं, वो सभी गैरकानूनी हैं।

राहुल गांधी जी ने ये भी कहा है कि कांग्रेस पार्टी की राजनीति सिर्फ विरोध की नहीं, बल्कि प्रतिरोध की भी है।

संसद के भीतर हम विरोध करते हैं, सड़कों पर प्रतिरोध करते हैं और हम आगे भी ये करते रहेंगे।

Our Congress workers staged massive protests across 800 districts yesterday.

Our agitation was very aggressive. All our senior-most leaders were on the streets, along with DCC presidents and other leaders across India.

Reports and statistics indicate that more than 13 crore votes have been deleted from the voter lists during the SIR exercise. We are going to approach these voters at the grassroots level.

So, we will have a properly designed campaign for this.

Under the leadership of Hon’ble Congress President Sh. Mallikarjun @kharge ji, CPP Chairperson Smt. Sonia Gandhi ji and LOP Sh. @RahulGandhi ji, attended the Congress Working Committee meeting at Indira Bhavan, New Delhi.

Today, our agenda was clear - to discuss the next steps we must take in our agitation against CEC Gyanesh Kumar’s blatantly unconstitutional assault on our electoral framework.

Since 2024, we have been exposing how voter rolls were manipulated and elections were rigged - as directed by Modi-Shah.

This is an existential threat to our Constitution, and we cannot sit idle while a highly sophisticated conspiracy to demolish it bit by bit is orchestrated.

[Congress Kerala @INCKerala]

The Congress Working Committee met today and drafted a strong resolution demanding:

• Immediate resignation of the CEC for forfeiting moral and institutional authority.
• Immediate suspension of the SIR amid serious concerns over the integrity, transparency and constitutional validity of the process.
• Restoration of the 13.30 crore names removed from electoral rolls.

India’s democracy cannot be compromised. Every voter’s right to vote must be protected.

[Rahul Gandhi @RahulGandhi]

Stop punishing women for the crimes committed against them.

Across our country, women are afraid to walk the streets, afraid of being harassed, afraid of being raped. And the government’s answer: stay at home.

This is patriarchy at work: a system that blames the victim and shields the criminal. It is time to smash it.

The solution is not to lock women inside. It is to make our streets safe, to confront the mindset of men who mistreat women, and to punish those who attack them, swiftly and without exception.

Thousands of students and young people are on the streets demanding safety for women. I urge even more young women, especially GenZ across India to come out in stronger numbers.

This government is deaf to your pain and will only listen when it’s under pressure.

Peaceful protest is your democratic right, and I stand with you wholeheartedly.

728 people live in the Bela Estate along the banks of the Yamuna. Following a 'Special Intensive Revision' (SIR) exercise, only one name remained on the voter list—the other 727 names were deleted.

These people have been living here for decades. They have cast their votes in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and the 2025 Delhi elections. Their homes were demolished in 2023, yet they did not leave; they remain right here.

Today, I visited their settlement and heard directly from them about what the Election Commission has done to them.

I told the SDM that owning a house or not has no bearing on the right to vote. CEC Gyanesh Kumar himself has stated that "House Number 0" is designated for the homeless. Yet, the names of 727 people were struck off the list.

This is not an SIR; this is a method of stealing votes. Those who already have the least are being stripped of their only source of power.

Gyanesh Kumar will be removed for sure and the system that made him do this will also be held accountable.

Met dear Thanshan Kannur in person, who overcame limitations through sheer willpower. He submitted a comprehensive memorandum outlining 10 urgent demands to ensure the welfare and social security of our differently-abled brothers and sisters.

A video Thanshan shared earlier on social media caught my attention. The government fully shares his view that persons with disabilities need their rightful rights, not mere pity.

The government will consider every proposal in the memorandum with the utmost seriousness. “Good governance, empathy” is this government’s policy.
