After all, if you do not resist the apparently inevitable, you will never know how inevitable the inevitable was.

Patiala, Punjab: AAP Senior leader @msisodia says, "...The supply of drugs should be stopped. At present, 80 per cent of the drugs in Punjab are coming from states ruled by the BJP. They are coming from Mundra Airport. From there, 3,000 kg of drugs disappears as if no one knows about it. So, if the BJP really wants to talk about drugs in the country and wants to do something, it should break the drug supply chain in its own states. Bhagwant Mann has broken the drug supply chain in Punjab and stopped the supply of drugs. It would be good if the BJP breaks the chain in its own states. The rest is just politics

Shame on all those journalists, especially the senior ones who will put out stories today on how the ECI has denied the story by @RitikaChopra__. You could not do the work she did, at least stop being govt’s puppet for a day. Instead ask for accountability. Millions suffering

🚨Kejriwal tears into Gyanesh Kumar - This is the biggest scandal of Independent India

#ArrestGyaneshKumar

➡️Indian Express expose: 2 of 3 ECs objected 14 times - orders issued without the full Commission

➡️13 crore voters deleted via SIR across 30 states - never approved by the 3-member ECI

➡️ERO access seized; HQ can add or wipe any name in the country

➡️Sandhu on record: letters go out in ECI’s name without Commission nod

Arvind Kejriwal placed 3 demands:

1. Cancel SIR. Restore the 3-year-old voter list
2. Arrest Gyanesh Kumar. Prosecute for treason against democracy
3. Scrap & rehold polls in Delhi, Haryana, MP, Bihar, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal

There cannot be a bigger scam than this.

CEC Gyanesh Kumar Must Go: He Has No Right to Continue in Office!

The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, along with other Opposition parties, has consistently opposed the move to delete crores of voters from the electoral rolls in the name of the Special Intensive Revision (#SIR). Rushed through just months ahead of elections in State after State, the exercise was riddled with irregularities and sparked widespread unrest, particularly in West Bengal.

The explosive findings published by The @IndianExpress today, backed by evidence, have now cast serious doubts over the results of every Assembly election held after the SIR exercise. The investigation reveals that Chief Election Commissioner Thiru. #GyaneshKumar had been acting unilaterally and in secrecy, without the concurrence of the other two Election Commissioners. Even more alarming is the revelation that Thiru. Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Thiru. Vivek Joshi were kept in the dark about crucial decisions being taken within the very institution they jointly oversee. Their objections to decisions being taken without their knowledge were brushed aside on as many as 14 occasions in just ten months. These revelations have severely eroded the credibility of the Election Commission.

The Election Commission is a three-member body whose business must, as far as possible, be transacted unanimously. Where the Commissioners differ in opinion on any matter, the decision must be based on the majority view. If two of its three members were themselves kept unaware of what was being done in the Commission’s name, this cannot be dismissed as a mere internal or procedural matter. It constitutes a grave assault on Indian democracy. The credibility of an apex institution that is expected to function independently, transparently and without political interference has been seriously compromised.

The revelations concerning the electoral rolls are equally disturbing. Appeals were filed against the inclusion of voters even after courts had ordered that their names be added to the electoral rolls. Who authorised these appeals? Who filed them? The two Election Commissioners themselves say they were kept in the dark.

The law empowers Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) to scrutinise and revise electoral rolls. Yet, they were unable to add even those who had been duly found eligible to vote. ERONet, the digital platform through which these changes had to be made, was entirely under the control of one person. When such concerns are being raised by two serving Election Commissioners, the extent of political interference that may have taken place within the Election Commission is plain to see.

As early as March this year, the DMK, along with other Opposition parties, moved an impeachment motion against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. He has no right to continue in office any longer. Thiru. #GyaneshKumarMustGo immediately. The SIR exercise must be halted. The DMK demands a fair and thorough investigation into everything that has transpired within the Election Commission and that those responsible be held accountable.

‘If Gyanesh Kumar has an iota of shame left he should tender his resignation,’ says @AadilBoparai .

[Ritika Chopra @RitikaChopra__]

The Election Commission of India is under fire like never before.

The SIR has struck 13 crore names off draft rolls, putting the EC at the centre of intense public debate over its role in deciding who gets to vote — and who doesn’t.

HOWEVER, what nobody knew: through that same period, some of the sharpest questions were being asked from inside.

Out today, after months of work. Our #ExpressInvestigation 🧵

A cracker of a story by @RitikaChopra__

Days after two Elections Commissioners wrote (July 29) to Cabinet Secretary over the functioning of the Commission, two Deputy Election Commissioners moved out of the ECI.
