Opposition Challenges Election Commission Over Internal Dissent in Voter Roll Revision
A report revealed that two Election Commissioners objected multiple times to decisions made during the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, alleging lack of transparency and unilateral actions by Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, Arvind Kejriwal, and Akhilesh Yadav, criticized the Commission, accusing it of bias favoring the BJP and demanding investigations, impeachment, or repolls. The Election Commission denied internal dissent, asserting unanimous decision-making. The controversy has intensified political debate over electoral integrity ahead of upcoming elections.
