In January the EC launched ECINet, "in strict accordance with the law," the CEC said from the stage.
Within months, both Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi were writing that the platform was UNRAVELLING: local officers, who by law add and delete names, were being shut out, their access to the voters' list controlled by the IT division in Delhi.

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

IтАЩm putting together a WhatsApp group of young minds from West UP, particularly Muzaffarnagar, who are interested in understanding, discussing, and building a mass-level counter-narrative to the politics and ideology of the RSS.
If youтАЩre interested in being part of the conversation and contributing your ideas, DM me or reply to this post. IтАЩll reach out personally.
So this is the real Gen-Z story from the DUSU election. The sign of the times.
An independent candidate with years of hard work has scripted history by winning the highest votes in DUSU ever.
Gen-Z scripted history for an independent. CanтАЩt read too much into this but those in government must understand the sign of the times.
