Yesterday, @IndianExpress reported an unprecedented rupture inside the Election Commission: TWO of its three members objecting on record, 14 times in 10 months, to decisions taken without their knowledge.

Today, the second part of our investigation looks at the concern Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi flagged most often: Who really controls our electoral rolls?

We followed that question to Goa, where we found something deeply concerning.

Stay with me....

Removing Gyanesh Kumar is not enough.

The next election commissioner MUST be appointed by a panel of PM, Leader of Opposition and CJI. Only a person chosen by all three 'ayes' would be deserving of the post.

Modi cannot be trusted, he will install another puppet otherwise.

[Abhijeet Dipke @abhijeet_dipke]

Gyanesh Kumar is the enemy of India.

More than 12 crore names have reportedly been deleted from electoral rolls.

That is roughly 12.4% of the 97 crore registered electorate around the 2024 Lok Sabha election.

The gap between the BJP-led NDA and the opposition was just 2%.

Gyanesh Kumar isn’t conducting elections, he is scripting them.

We spent months investigating the inner working of the EC.

What we found: the majority of the Commission, kept in the dark for almost a year.

Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi objected on record at least 14 times in 10 months, FOUR times on a single day, to decisions taken in the Commission's name without their knowledge.

Here is what they flagged:

शानदार रिपोर्ट है आपकी। भारत का लोकतंत्र सुरक्षित नहीं है इसका एक और प्रमाण। चुनाव आयोग के भीतर क्या हो रहा है इसकी जाँच होनी चाहिए। सारे चुनावी नतीजों की समीक्षा होनी चाहिए। चुनाव जनता के वोट का नतीजा है या जी-प्रिंटर से निकला नतीजा, इसकी जाँच होनी चाहिए।

Bro what the fuck is the US even about???? This looks like an SNL skit

[Mahua Moitra @MahuaMoitra]

No-this is not crass humour. This is not immature behaviour. This is a much-needed long-awaited phenomenon. To fearlessly lampoon a PM is a democratic right long denied to Indians.

I don't even get angry with Man Utd anymore. I feel apathetic. Emotionally numb. I don't have much more to give, I am so unsurprised it doesn't even hurt anymore.

“Why don’t you go to Punjab?” We did.
“Why don’t you go to Jharkhand?” We did.
“Why don’t you go to Karnataka?” We did.

Strange that nobody’s asking about Gujarat yet. 👀

They can play full fledged matches with them, can tie their shoe laces, but can’t take the trophy which they actually won because they also wanna gain some “deshbhakti” brownie points and fool their supporters. CAN WE JUST STOP WITH THESE CHILDISH DRAMAS FFS??

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

I’m pretty disappointed that I grew up believing bad people would face consequences for doing terrible things, only to become an adult and realize that bad people literally get away with everything. Sometimes, they even get rewarded for it.

Corporate life will teach you that knowing the work is only half the battle. The real skill is staying calm in meetings, reading the situation, handling egos, receiving vague feedback, and not responding to emails with your true thoughts.

Indeed, you idiot! If all the work (river cleaning, city cleaning, etc.) has to be done by the general public or Gen Z, then why are @nsitharaman and @narendramodi collecting taxes from us? And if they are both so incompetent, they should resign from their positions.
