Election Commission and Rahul Gandhi Dispute Over Changes to Voter Registration Form
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has accused the Chief Election Commissioner of making unauthorized changes to Form 6, used for voter registration, and led protests demanding the commissioner's resignation. The Election Commission of India (ECI) has rejected these claims as misleading, clarifying the form's purpose and citing the Supreme Court's involvement. The Supreme Court has stated it did not approve any modified Form 6 and is reviewing records to determine who authorized changes. The issue remains under judicial consideration.
