Supreme Court Says It Did Not Approve Modified Form 6 Amid Election Commission Row
The Supreme Court clarified that it has not approved any modifications to Form 6, the voter registration form used during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The court sought records to determine who altered the form, amid petitions challenging Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's unilateral decisions. Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Jairam Ramesh accused Kumar of illegally changing Form 6 to benefit the BJP, while the Election Commission maintained the changes were part of the SIR process. The Cockroach Janta Party also criticized Kumar, demanding accountability.
