Election Commission Faces Political Dispute Over Voter Roll Revision and Leadership
The Election Commission of India (ECI) faces intense scrutiny over its Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, which led to the deletion of millions of voters. Opposition parties, led by Congress, allege constitutional violations and demand Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation, citing dissent within the Commission. The BJP and allied leaders defend the ECI, asserting the exercise was lawful and aimed at cleaning voter rolls. Calls for transparency, legal clarity, and independent inquiry continue amid political tensions and public concern.
