@IndiaToday Rajdeep Sardesai is a joke.

@IndiaToday @maryashakil How much do you pay Salve as his consultation fees ??

[Pravir Krishna @Pra87]

@news24tvchannel @vijaitrivedi @NagarAdditi Every thing seems suspect after the underbelly is revealed !!

[Pravir Krishna @Pra87]

@IndiaToday @SachinPilot So that rigging is transformed into a blow out !! So convenient laps !!

[Pravir Krishna @Pra87]

@ShekharGupta The Chandrachud style of hearing. Drop a few oral statements here and there, the final order will be what it has to be.

[Pravir Krishna @Pra87]

@IndiaToday You are asking this question as forwarded !!
Is it a democracy Laps, or an autocracy ? A raging inferno is not seen or heard by any body. So convenient ?

[Pravir Krishna @Pra87]

@venkat1962 The legal local activity has been jammed and a centralised server has conveniently taken it over to add remove voters and ballots at will

I looked into the raw statistics of the Bengal Electoral Rolls, post and pre SIR rollout

📍Pre-SIR Electors : 7.66 crore
📍Initial SIR Deletions : 63.66 lakh
📍Put under Adjudication:60.06 lakh
📍Post Judicial adjudication: 🔻Deletions : 27.16 lakh
🔻Retained : 32.68 lakh.
❌The gross deletions in Bengal: ❌90.83 lakh !!
📍This is a deletion of 11.9% of the pre-SIR roll.
📍Present electorate: roughly 6.77 crore

I have a feeling that none of the Bengal greats like Gurudev and Netaji would have supported this suspension of voting rights and subsequently the citizenship of Indians.
How can you disenfranchise 91 lakh people in one state ? This is specially serious as it would amount to stripping them of their citizenship too !!
The implications of this will be stark and disproportionately t affect those on the fringes.

@IndiaToday @SachinPilot This Sardesai fellow wants his bread buttered on both sides.
Look at him talking in his podcast

Got my copy of Mr Anil Swarup’s
“You Can Make It Happen”.
It is, as are his earlier books, a compelling testament to the transformative power of determination, integrity, purposeful action necessary for all youngsters who aspire to serve the people in any capacity.

Drawing from an extraordinary career in public service, Anil Swarup turns his rich experiences into practical wisdom and valuable lessons in leadership. The book reminds us that circumstances need not determine our destiny—our response to them does.

Its greatest strength lies in its refreshing honesty and the courage to speak from lived experience. The author offers insightful lessons on perseverance, teamwork, problem-solving and that it’s possible to get things done even against heavy odds.

Above all, the book inspires the reader to replace excuses with action and obstacles with opportunities. A truly uplifting and worthwhile read specially for those young administrators who want to serve and not rule the people.

How Bihar was SIRified
•Pre-SIR Voters (24 June 2025): 7.89 crore
•Draft roll (1 Aug 2025): 7.24 crore, after about 65 lakh names were removed as absent, shifted (or dead) ! Not added any where else.
•Final roll (30 Sept 2025): 7.42 crore. 21.53 lakh names were added, mostly first-time voters, and a further 3.66 lakh were removed as ineligible.
•Net drop: about 47 lakh. Counting every deletion (65 lakh plus 3.66 lakh), the gross deletion figure, pre poll in Bihar is about 68.7 lakh voters !!

Do you think this was a legal election in Bihar having stripped 68.7 lakh voters ? JP, if he was alive would certainly not be happy at this turn of events.

The Yes “SIR” Culture in the Election (Omission &) Commission of India

Let me tell you folks that in my career and during my stints as a District Magistrate, I was appointed Returning Officer six times in State and National Elections

I have been voting for 30 years. But this time it took me five visits to the BLO to retain my name in the voters list !!
And, in the fifth summons, I was directed to appear with my Matriculation Certificate and Passport or else I may loose my voting rights!!

I carried along not only the above but my certificates till MA, the merit Certificates of each of the exams issued by the University and the scholarships I was awarded in each of the exams, lest the BLO thought I was a lesser individual than most people and deserving of loosing my voting rights !!

And, I showed it all to the “Guruji” who was very happy to see me visibly shaken and make me run around him in circles !!

Hopefully all this effort should ensure that I refigure in the electoral rolls. God knows or may be the Software knows better
