Another day, another @IndianExpress break on the EC.
Sept 23. Our investigation breaks. The EC responds the same day: its platforms are protected against "unauthorized tampering", and EROs "function as per statutory powers."
What we didn't know was this.
The very next day, Maharashtra's Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) wrote to the EC in Delhi asking for FOUR changes to ECINet, so EROs could use the discretion the law already gives them.
The same concern Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi had put on record.
Stay with me for @vallabhozarkarr's cracker of a story in today's edition

Another bombshell from THE INDIAN EXPRESS on the Modi govt's social media crackdown.🚨
Between March and July 2026 nearly 1.95 lakh blocking orders were sent to Instagram, Facebook and YouTube — around 1275 per day.
This Government is so afraid of criticism that it keeps trying to silence the internet.
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....

Sudhir ji, this is nothing. You will be taken to cleaners soonest. You have intoxicated our beautiful nation with so much hate.
Your time is up. Mark my words. @sudhirchaudhary
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:

@SupriyaShrinate I think it perfectly suits him.. Time not away he will openly support goons in name of taking law in hand and not asking justice from court or police..just like his counter parts
Hello @DM_NADIA_WB & team. This is how other Honourable MPs host meetings to take stock of MPLADS. I will also hold a meeting next week for progress on works including Chapra bus stand, Pattabuka auditorium & others. Please be prepared. Thank you.
अभी थोड़े देर पहले ये आदमी ताज होटल से 5000 का खाना खाकर बिना बिल दिए निकल गया। बस जाते-जाते वेटर को 100 रुपया टिप दिया, वो खुद गाड़ी तक छोड़ने आया और बोला दोस्ती बनी रहे चंद्रा जी, फिर आइए खाने हमारा लवड़ेन भोज्यम।
