IIT Bombay Suicide Case: CCTV Shows Professor Confronting Student Over Alleged Exam Cheating

The Election Commission cannot dismiss recent media revelations as mere internal disagreement or invoke collective responsibility. Two Election Commissioners raised repeated concerns regarding the centralised control of electoral roll software, the rollout of Form Six, and instances where ground-level statutory officers were overruled or prevented from implementing legal decisions. Resolving the matter requires an independent forensic audit of the software, tracking audit trails for additions, deletions, modifications, and reversals across all constituencies to identify authorisations and overridden statutory decisions. Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar must address these concerns directly, alongside clarification from fellow commissioners on their formal concurrence, to preserve institutional credibility.

A fierce debate unfolds over allegations of illegality and internal dissent within the Election Commission of India following investigative revelations. Political analyst Yogendra Yadav, Congress spokesperson Adil Singh Boparai, BJP national media co-convener Siddharth Yadav, and analyst Rajat Sethi debate the conduct of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The discussion centers on allegations that decisions regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise and Form 6 modifications were pushed without the requisite consensus of fellow Election Commissioners. Yogendra Yadav demands that all three commissioners step down and that elections conducted under the revision be annulled, labeling the moves unconstitutional. Adil Singh Boparai demands Gyanesh Kumar's resignation and alleges statutory violations, while Siddharth Yadav defends the panel's unanimous final decisions under the 2023 Act. Concluding the debate, the anchor calls for an independent forensic audit of the voter roll software, asserting that 'no election, I repeat, no election under Gyanesh Kumar's leadership can be seen as credible and honest.'

In an interview with Rajdeep Sardesai, Rajya Sabha MP and senior Supreme Court advocate Kapil Sibal leveled serious allegations against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the functioning of the Election Commission of India. Kapil Sibal alleged that the Election Commission has bypassed fellow election commissioners to centralize control over voter rolls, stating, 'This is scandal of the highest order.' He asserted that the statutory authority of Electoral Registration Officers was unlawfully usurped during elections in West Bengal, leading to massive wrongful voter deletions. Sibal argued that instructions were being issued from higher authorities to manipulate electoral outcomes selectively in favor of the ruling party. Calling the centralized changes in Form Six and voter deletion procedures extraordinary and egregious, Sibal termed the entire electoral roll controversy as 'the biggest scam that's happened in this country' since elections began, pledging to produce investigative evidence.

An investigative report has revealed internal differences within the Election Commission of India, with two Election Commissioners raising objections at least 14 times over 10 months to decisions taken without their knowledge. The objections by Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi were marked to Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and senior officials. Issues raised include the Special Intensive Revision that deleted 13 crore voters, the addition of a new clause to Form 6 for new voter enrolment, and the centralisation of software housing electoral rolls. Concerns were also noted over state-level officials being denied full access to the portal, unapproved appeals filed regarding excluded voters in West Bengal, and changes in the IT division. While the opposition demanded the suspension of the Chief Election Commissioner, the Election Commission stated that internal notes reflect standard deliberations and maintained that all decisions were taken unanimously.
