The Election Commission of India is under fire like never before.
The SIR has struck 13 crore names off draft rolls, putting the EC at the centre of intense public debate over its role in deciding who gets to vote โ and who doesnโt.
HOWEVER, what nobody knew: through that same period, some of the sharpest questions were being asked from inside.
Out today, after months of work. Our #ExpressInvestigation ๐งต
(1/10)
The CEC must be removed immediately and a court monitored investigation ordered. Disenfranchising lakhs of voters to allegedly benefit one political party strikes at the very foundation of our democracy. Those responsible must be held accountable.
After the West Bengal elections, all opposition parties of INDIA wrote to the CJI and SC judges raising serious concerns. Those allegations, however, were neither examined nor given the scrutiny they deserved.
When grave questions affecting the democratic process are repeatedly raised and yet remain unheard, it inevitably raises questions about institutional impartiality.
The Supreme Court cannot look away. The buck stops there.
Will the CJI led Bench act?
Gyanesh Kumar is the enemy of India.
More than 12 crore names have reportedly been deleted from electoral rolls.
That is roughly 12.4% of the 97 crore registered electorate around the 2024 Lok Sabha election.
The gap between the BJP-led NDA and the opposition was just 2%.
Gyanesh Kumar isnโt conducting elections, he is scripting them.
BIG: @ECISVEEP SPLIT WIDE OPEN over SIR ! Two ECs, Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, have formally objected, on record, at least 14 times over the last 10 months to decisions taken and orders issued without their knowledge. Is a constitutional body now a one man show that acts as His Masters Voice? Will Gyanesh Kumar respond to the detailed @IndianExpress investigation? (Note: earlier this week, another former EC @AshokLavasa called for an apology from the ECI for SIR chaos)
None of this information leaks to press unless the powers want it to. It is now clear that 2/3 Election Commissioners worried about day of reckoning & want to cover their butts. No clearer sign that BJP on way out.
