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 🧵

Indian news anchors hailing American news channels for boycotting Trump while spending their own careers as loyal stenographers to Modi. The irony is screaming through the teleprompter

Over 13 crore names Struck-Off from voter list drafts!

Despite 2 out of 3 Election Commissioners repeatedly raising flags, the unjust deletions continued.

Is a Free and Fair election just a myth?

My Fraand @narendramodi one midnight reel Sir, just one reel about the horror in Jamui.
A 15yr old Delhi girl verbally abusing you warranted a reel - but a beast physically abusing 15yr old in Jamui warrants only silence? Great Harassment .

@GBA_office Why can’t you’ll do your job for all of Bengaluru without a minister having to hold you accountable?

[Gen Z Universe @JantarMantarPro]

Finally somebody is talking sensible about Dhurandhar.

Will the Director @AdityaDharFilms listen & stop this Propaganda ?

After massive outrage online over kids being stuck in traffic for hours, Varthur Road is being fixed -but by traffic police.

Where are the GBA/Bengaluru East Corporation/B-SMILE----KRDCL officials who are actually responsible for it?

You've all paid your taxes before the July 31 deadline. Now, with your tax money, the Govt has launched yet another campaign. These posters will soon be seen across the country.

If it’s the week of the nation making requests 🙏 I think this ones from my civics text book…

DO NOT LET AMIT SHAH GET AWAY FROM THE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR JULY 20th.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi puts out a video message at midnight on his social media. I don’t think we witnessed something this unprecedented even during the Covid lockdown. The fear of losing power has finally hit the Modi regime

🚨 JANTAR MANTAR IS A PROTEST SITE, NOT A DIGITAL OPEN-AIR PRISON! 🛑

Delhi Police has stationed Facial Recognition Vans to live-scan peaceful protesters. They are harvesting biometrics and extracting personal data on the spot—and we have three direct questions for the administration:

❌ UNDER WHAT LAW IS THIS LEGAL?
Supreme Court ruled that Privacy is a Fundamental Right (Puttaswamy case). Mass-scanning citizens exercising their legal right to protest is unconstitutional.

📂 WHERE IS THIS DATA COMING FROM?
How are these AI systems identifying youth live on site? Are national databases, Aadhaar records, and public registries being illegally cross-matched to turn citizens into targets?

⚠️ HOW WILL THIS DATA BE WEAPONISED?
Who stores these facial scans? How long will they be kept? Are secret registries being built to shadow-ban, intimidate, and target students for demanding accountability?

[Vir Das @thevirdas]

Just for a second entertain the possibility, that this generation is able to visualise a country…that my dumbass generation and the one above us forgot. We idealistically thought of it, and forgot it quick. Distracted by life and prosperity. Maybe it’s because they’ve grown up documenting and broadcasting their entire life. So they’ve had a good look at themselves during formative years. Assessed their values, albeit to showcase them. Which we weren’t able to do. So they are possibly more sure of themselves at this age, which seems completely alien to us. It’s possible.

#RightToWalk This is the condition of the footpath on Old Madras Road near Byappanahalli Metro/police station on Wednesday, after the Safe Footpath drive.

This campaign should not be limited to removing encroachments but must also ensure the footpath is truly walkable @krishnabgowda @GBAChiefComm @GBA_office

[Macqueline Fernandez @Macqueline1]

@bengalurupost1 Hahaha! Fun to see this drama of madness. This is going on Guiness for the worst flyover ever to be implemented over a period of God knows how many years!

[Macqueline Fernandez @Macqueline1]

@nagarjund Posing for pics to show a shoddy job done, is heights. And the audacity to think this is an achievement when it should have been done rightly first with quality materials, fined to people that dug it up, fined to the contractor and MLA responsible for no upkeep etc List can go on

[Macqueline Fernandez @Macqueline1]

@ChristinMP_ Can’t wait to send back multiple misses that they are bound to do and not implement better laws to Stop such encroachments in the first place.

[Macqueline Fernandez @Macqueline1]

@GBA_office Providing the people what is supposed to be done initially is not an achievement. Hold every contractor and MLA responsible for the shambles of an excuse we use as a ROAD. It’s pathetic to be in Bangalore city roads when every tech park is maintained in opp manner!

[Macqueline Fernandez @Macqueline1]

@GBA_office Stop doing patching jobs and do the real job of tarring roads with quality materials, quality testing, holding your contractors responsible and not permitting anyone to lay a crack on the road without permissions FIRST!

[Macqueline Fernandez @Macqueline1]

Full gridlock at Yemlur bridge junction since 30mins!! How pathetically managed is this important junction with zero cops on duty!! @blrcitytraffic @BlrCityPolice @bellandurutrfps @DKShivakumar @siddaramaiah
