1. Yes, EC, because it cleaned the roll( removed dead, duplicate votes who were used by TMC as ghost voters)
It ensured that no chappa in this election.
2. CAPF- yes, because they ensured the electors in WB for the first time could exercise their franchise without any fear!
West Bengal
TMC was defeated not by the BJP :
But by :
Election Commission
Central Forces (CAPF)
and by the disenfranchisement of
2.5million voters
This election was stolen not won !
We must stand by Mamta
I have all the regard for @KapilSibal,sir. However, what he is claiming is nowhere present in the SLP filed by AITC. In fact, in very clear words, they have prayed before the SC to restrian the ECI from implementing the very circular, which he is claiming he wanted ECI to follow.
#WATCH | Delhi | Rajya Sabha MP and Senior Advocate who is representing TMC, Kapil Sibal says, "...This case is an exception, and that is why I have come here. Because the mainstream media is reporting on the court case in a different way, they are reporting that our petition has been dismissed. This is wrong in itself... The TMC's claim in the High Court was that this circular is wrong... the High Court said that this circular is correct. When we came to the Supreme Court, we decided that we would not challenge the circular. But we will request the Supreme Court to implement it... The circular states that the EC has received information from many places that there are going to be some problems in every booth during the election... This is why the EC has decided that every booth will have a nominee from the central government..."
He adds, "We stated in the Supreme Court that their own circular says if you want to keep a nominee from the central government, then do so, but keep a nominee from the state government as well. Randomise that as well... The Supreme Court noted that we were challenging the circular there, but we clarified that we are not challenging the circular anymore. We are saying that it should be implemented... Now we have hope. The Supreme Court said, and this is an order, that the EC will follow the circular issued by them both in letter and spirit... What is written is that there will be a nominee from the state government and a nominee from the central government... The mainstream media that is running it is saying that our petition has been dismissed. This is completely wrong... give them the right information..."
@RURALINDIA Haha. Why do you guys pat each other back? TMC came challenging the ECI's circular now when they saw that their face is getting burnt. They suddenly started demanding that ECI follow the circular, which they challenged and prayed for setting aside.
Strange times.

@livemint Where is this written in the order?
Please help me locate this because from what I am reading, the order is entirely different from what your headline suggests!
@SauravDassss I remember you coming all gun blazing against people when some sources were being quoted. Why dont Hon'ble Justice Oka comes and explain this. The point which is clearly and plainly visible is that he tried to set a narrative based on the backdrop of whats happening in DHC!
But the way access to the SC is shaped and mediated, there is no incentive for any of this.
(a) Why build coalitions when you can be the first to rush to SC and become famous?
(b) Why do the long, hard slog when approaching SC is so easy? And, from the opposite side, why +
What #Altnews won't tell you is that the issue of #machine-readable #electoralroll has already been dealt by the Hon'ble SC in Kamal Nath v. ECI, (2019) 2 SCC 260 and the current format is as per the existing Manual, which has also been upheld by the SC.
@zoo_bear@AltNews
West Bengal's 2026 electoral rolls are 'public' for the record. But they are published as scanned image PDFs, behind CAPTCHAs, with watermarks obscuring voter names. You can't search them. You can't analyse them. And that's not an accident. @Holytripper

The recent events only underline the need to revisit this long-standing institutional gap in India’s electoral framework. (6/6)

Yesterday’s developments in #bengal, where the Hon’ble #SC noted the absence of the Chief Secretary and other officials during the blockade situation, are quite telling. This incident, in many ways, reflects a deeper institutional issue that I had attempted to examine in my (1/6)
that their long-term duty ultimately lies with the State. When constitutional processes depend on officers whose primary accountability lies elsewhere, situations of friction, delay, or even absence at critical moments are perhaps not entirely surprising. (5/6)
