We reported two days ago that UP added 16.18 lakh mysterious voters to the electoral rolls during SIR.
UP CEO countered that ECI rules made them do it.
We dug more and found that he lied

Cost Of Supreme Court's 2-Year-Plus Delay In Deciding CEC Appointment Case |@DebbyJain
The petitions challenging the CEC Act have remained pending since January 2024. Gyanesh Kumar was the first CEC to be appointed as per this law.

The government may use every intimidation tactic, but we will not back down.
CJP stands firm on its three demands. They are NON-NEGOTIABLE:
1. Gyanesh Kumar must resign, and criminal proceedings must be initiated against him.
2. Freeze SIR, halt upcoming elections, restore the January 2025 voters list, and order an independent inquiry.
3. Repeal the 2023 ECI appointments law and establish an independent, credible selection process.
The mysterious 16.8 lakh voters added to Uttar Pradesh’s voter rolls.
Law requires ECI to put out details of all Form 6 applications for addition. We found ECI has hidden the identity of 16.8 lakh voters.

I Javed Akhtar want to tell every one that the fake message on the social media that I have criticised CJP and run down Abhijeet Dipke is as fake as fake can be . I am surprised that those who are opposing Dipke and CJP need to borrow credibility from some one like me !! . Yeh Haalut hogayee hai ??? . Sad
Can't serve notices.
Can't hold virtual hearings.
Can't give a voter a copy of the order deleting them.
And: "Once the appeal is disposed of... it cannot be restored on the portal if the restoration is needed on account of direction of the judicial order or otherwise."
That's not a complaint from an election official on the ground. It's the minutes of a meeting of retired High Court judges, appointed on the Supreme Court's orders to hear 38 lakh SIR appeals in West Bengal, on the portal the Election Commission's IT division (headed by Seema Khanna) built for them.
Minutes dated August 11, sent to the EC and the Chief Justice of Calcutta High Court.

On September 26, the Election Commission said in a press release that the SIR declaration attached to Form 6 had been upheld by the Supreme Court.
Today, the CJI made it clear: “Any modified Form 6 has not been approved by us.”
If the Supreme Court did not approve this modified Form 6, why did the ECI claim it did?
The ECI owes the country an answer.
"Except for death, a Voter name cannot be deleted from the voter list without notice and a hearing. Yours Whataboutery cannot justify disenfranchising millions."
