I solemnly swear that I am up to no good. JU'24

[Yogendra Yadav @_YogendraYadav]

I did not to go to the Supreme Court today to hear its order in the SIR case.
As a litigant in this case, and as someone who was given the honour of addressing the court, I should have been hopeful, anxious, or at least curious. I was not. The case was decided long ago. We were only waiting for the transcript and its fine print.

The course of this case was settled in August last year. Having heard arguments against SIR for three days, the court moved away from examining the constitutionality of SIR and effectively converted itself into a Consumer Forum, focused on grievance redressal and arbitration, rather than constitutional principles.

The case was effectively decided when the apex court allowed the ECI to rush through the Bihar elections without first deciding the matter, and without requiring the ECI to rectify even the most glaring defects in post-SIR rolls.

There was little left of this case once the ECI proceeded with the second and then the third phase of SIR, while the Hon’ble Court leisurely heard arguments about its constitutionality. SIR had become a fait accompli. Any remaining doubt disappeared when the Hon’ble judges observed in open court that no one would be allowed to obstruct SIR.

The final nail in the coffin of this petition was hammered during the hearing of another petition before the same Bench, when an Hon’ble judge remarked that millions denied their right to vote need not fret, since they could vote in the next election. At that moment, the court abdicated its constitutional responsibility.

Shorn of legalese, the simple truth is that the highest court of a constitutional democracy has already authorised the disenfranchisement of millions of citizens — at least 59 million so far, could go up eventually to 100 million.

It was inconceivable that the court would now declare SIR unconstitutional and annul all post-SIR elections. The lawyers were waiting for the the exact legal reasoning deployed to arrive at a conclusion that was already known. Such legal gymnastics did not interest me. Some friends were looking for some crumbs in the hope that the court might at least wish to save face, if not save the voters. Eventually that too did not happen. Polite noises apart, the Court has handed over a carteblac to the ECI to do what it pleases with the voters list.

ADR vs Union of India (2026) is to our times what ADM Jabalpur vs Shivkant
Shukla (1976) was to the previous assault on our democracy. We must hope that the SIR judgment does not mark the crumbling of the last constitutional wall, as ADM Jabalpur once did. We must believe that one day this constitutional abdication by the guardian of the Constitution will be recognised for what it was. And reversed.

Jai Hind!

This is a blatant violation of Section 123(5) representation of people act, 1951

But as usual the compromised @ECISVEEP will stay silent on this.

[Saurav Das @SauravDassss]

This is hypocrisy at best! If the Supreme Court has held that the Speaker of a House becomes a “Tribunal” while deciding disqualification petitions and is therefore subject to its judicial orders and contempt jurisdiction, then, by the same logic, West Bengal’s judicial officers ought to cease to act as “judicial officers” when functioning as Election Registration Officers (EROs). So why should objections to the conduct or tactics of EROs be treated as contempt of the Supreme Court?

The Court cannot curtail citizens’ right to peaceful protest after stepping into the field and simultaneously claim that protests against these officials---who are, in this context, performing executive functions---amount to contempt just because they are judicial officers in another capacity. And why is Chief Justice Surya Kant’s bench administering the SIR process in this manner at all, when it is not even the Court’s constitutional responsibility? The entire state judiciary has been thrown into this deeply political exercise, just days before the election!

IMPORTANT: SC Justice Joymalya Bagchi during SIR hearing : "If someone cannot vote in this election.. does not mean their right can be deprived forever". Sorry your Lordship, EVERY Indian citizen has a right to vote in EVERY election and the @ECISVEEP is duty bound to ensure that . A vote isn’t a post-dated cheque the state can encash at its convenience. 🙏

If we did not speak a political language, you would not have had an independent country.

BJP has perfected the dirty art of voter roll tampering. They did the warm-up in Delhi and Maharashtra. Now they are playing the real match in Bengal.

In Maharashtra, 43,84,814 voters were added in 5 years, and another 40,81,229 were added in just 5 months. In Delhi: 4,16,648 voters were added in 4 years, and another 3,99,362 were added in just 7 months. I had warned then that the real rigging is not in EVMs, it’s in the electoral rolls. Bengal is now witnessing exactly that.

This video clearly shows cartons filled with fraudulent Form 6 applications being openly submitted at the Chief Electoral Officer’s office, and stacked on the third floor raising serious concerns about an attempt to illegally bring in voters from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh into Bengal’s electoral rolls. And it is shocking how the @ECISVEEP has rolled over and allowed this conspiracy. Nowhere in the Election Commission’s rules is bulk submission of Form 6 permitted. The limit is clearly capped at 50 applications per individual. Yet here, thousands of forms are being submitted by just a handful of people- something that is not only a blatant violation of the rules but also strikes at the very foundation of a free and fair electoral process.

We call ourselves the world’s largest democracy, yet the very custodian of our democratic rights is actively facilitating its sabotage. When BJP shouted “Paltano Dorkar”, they actually meant “VOTER ROLLS PALTANO DORKAR”. When they screamed “Poriborton”, they meant a DEMOGRAPHIC PORIBORTON, replacing Bengal’s own electorate with voters brought in from BJP-ruled states.

২৫ বছর আগে এই দিনে যাদবপুর বিশ্ববিদ‍্যালয়ের ক্লাসরুমে প্রথম পা রাখি। এ বছর এখনও WBJEE রেজাল্ট বের হয়নি। আজকেও পিছিয়ে গেল। ছাত্রছাত্রীদের কথা দয়া করে ভাবুন। সময় যে চলে যাচ্ছে আর ফিরে আসবে না। 🙏🏼

A Kolkata Police officer today wore another investigating officer’s uniform and badge and presented himself as the IO. He was caught by the defence counsel. You really can’t make this up. #RGKarcase
