New Delhi, Sep 23: Expansive red flags raised by two Election Commissioners within the poll panel over the Special Intensive Revision of voters list triggered a massive political storm on Wednesday, with the Opposition accusing CEC Gyanesh Kumar of indulging in one-man autocracy and demanding his removal. Officials said Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi had flagged multiple issues, including deletion of names, in various states during the voter roll cleanup but the poll body was unanimous in its decisions related to the pan-India Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voters' list. The reactions poured in after a report in The Indian Express revealed that questions were raised on issues related to the SIR of electoral rolls within the three-member Election Commission (EC) itself, time and again by two of the three Election Commissioners. The national rollout of the SIR has been under the supervision of all three Commissioners. But Sandhu and Joshi have formally objected, on record, at least 14 times over the last 10 months -- four times on a single day -- to decisions taken and orders issued, they say, without their knowledge, the report in the English daily said. Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh shared the screenshot of the media report on X. Ramesh said that on behalf of the party, his colleague Abhishek Singhvi will be speaking in detail to the media on the sensational revelations made in the leading national newspaper on the way he CEC has destroyed the credibility and integrity of the Election Commission of India. Congress general secretary in-charge organisation K C Venugopal said there is no doubt remaining that Kumar has no right to remain in office. How the hell can one man, acting on His Master's orders, strike off names at whim? How can he sideline fellow Constitutional officers to only take blatantly illegal steps that put our democracy in danger? he said. The right to vote is an essential Constitutional power given to every citizen, the fundamental bedrock of our democracy. If it is to be taken away, due process must be followed with utmost probity, he said. Today, when we are staring at crores of genuine voters being excluded and a similar number of bogus voters being added to the rolls, it is clear that Gyanesh Kumar was the Chief Architect of the nationwide 'Vote Chori' exercise, with the the Modi top brass pulling the strings, he alleged. We demand Gyanesh Kumar's immediate removal and a Supreme Court-monitored impartial investigation to expose the rot that has destroyed the ECI's credibility, Venugopal said. If Kumar remains in office, the people of India will come forward and make sure that our democracy is not destroyed by a mere bureaucrat, he added. Congress' media and publicity department head Pawan Khera lashed out at Kumar, saying he is planted and being protected by the BJP to hollow out the Election Commission of India from within. It was already known that things were not exactly well within the ECI. But just how messy, dysfunctional and, frankly, disturbing things had become is laid bare by this brilliant expose by @IndianExpress, he said on X. Kumar has to be the single most sold-out bureaucrat of the Modi era who has disenfranchised crores of Indians, and he must face the law, he alleged. Congress MP Manish Tewari also reacted to the media report, saying that if the ostensible facts as reported are correct then it seems to suggest that there is an invisible hand running the Election Commission. If rules were not allegedly followed and decisions were taken that were not unanimous or by majority then all the decisions of @ECISVEEP are per -se arbitrary and capricious if not completely illegal, Tewari said on X. This is perhaps a fit case for serious considering an impeachment proceeding but more importantly the fundamental question is as to how will the credibility of @ECISVEEP be ever resurrected, he said. Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal demanded Kumar's suspension and filing of an FIR to probe who is behind his actions. Former chief election commissioner O P Rawat said changes to the statutory voter registration Form 6 are absolutely wrong and illegal, while describing revelations of differences within the Election Commission as very serious and unfortunate. CPI(M) MP John Brittas said this is no longer an Election Commission, it is a one-man autocracy under CEC Kumar. Two Election Commissioners have formally objected 14 times in 10 months. They branded the addition of new voters and mass deletion 'unauthorised and illegal'. They recorded objections to secret deletions, restorations, and form 6 changes that harass young first-time voters - all while being kept in the dark, he said. This is the open subversion of the EC and our democracy too, Brittas said. Parliament must immediately start the process for the removal of the CEC. We had in fact submitted a notice for removal on 24th April, 2026 as per the constitutional stipulations - solid grounds and around 70 members signing( 50 in the stipulated number), he said. The Constitution provides this power for precisely such moments of institutional capture and subversion, he said. The Supreme Court must annul the entire SIR process without delay. When two of the three Commissioners put on record that the exercise is illegal and destructive of the electoral roll's integrity, judicial silence becomes complicity, Brittas said. What Kumar is doing is the death knell of a democratic nation, he said. Remove the CEC. Strike down the SIR. Or accept that free and fair elections in India are already being buried, the CPI(M) MP said. Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut also cited the media report, and said A-Gyanesh Kumar will go to jail! He will have to go! His masters will flee the country and run away! TMC Rajya Sabha leader Derek O'Brien said on X, Five months ago, 60+ Rajya Sabha MPs (50 needed) wrote to Chairman RS moving Motion to remove CEC Gyanesh Kumar. After big news break today that two Election Commissioners objected to many of CEC's actions, it's time to bring out the RS Motion today. Impeach CEC to save democracy.

There will be no democracy: Mehbooba Mufti raises alarm over electoral roll changes
Srinagar, Sept 23: PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday warned that India could resemble a banana republic if electoral rolls continue to be altered according to the wishes of the ruling BJP, while praising two Election Commissioners for raising objections to decisions taken by the poll panel. Speaking about reports that two Election Commissioners had raised objections on several occasions to decisions and positions taken by the Election Commission, Mufti said their dissent was important for the health of Indian democracy. Today they are trying to subvert the very fundamental of Indian democracy, which is the electoral process, by, you know, fudging the electoral rolls, which the two Election Commissioners have pointed out, she said. She said India and Pakistan, which she described as sibling states, appeared to be competing with each other in ways that harmed their own people and institutions. I feel that our both the sibling states, India and Pakistan, they are trying to undo each other, competing with each other who can damage their people the most, who can damage their country the most, Mufti said. Referring to Indias description of itself as the worlds largest democracy, she said the countrys electoral process was central to that democratic identity. Our country India, which is seen as the largest democracy in the world and which our Prime Minister proudly talks about, mother of democracy, whenever he is abroad, she said. But if it continues to be like this, you know, where electoral rolls deletion and addition happens at BJPs will, then there are dangers that at some point of time our country, which is the largest democracy in the world, is going to resemble a banana republic. Mufti also contrasted the situation in India with developments in Pakistan, particularly the detention of the sisters of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan. At the same time, look at Pakistan, which goes around the world as a peacemaker, as mediator of peace, is crushing dissent within its country with an iron hand, she said. Look at I mean, detaining Imran Khans sisters, who are unarmed, who are protesting very peacefully, them detaining just because they are trying to stand up for their brother. What does it speak? She said the detention of women protesters was at odds with Pakistans international image. You are going around the world as a peacemaker and, in your home, inside your house, women who have no weapons in their hands, you are detaining them, she said. Mufti said the only silver lining she could see was that India still had officials willing to question those in power. The only silver lining I can see is that in India we still have people like the two Election Commissioners who have the courage and integrity to question the people in power, she said. She contrasted this with Pakistan, saying there were no comparable voices within the establishment willing to question what she described as the arbitrary detention of Imran Khans sisters. Its a very, very sorry state of affairs, she said. Mufti also referred to the deletion of voters from draft electoral rolls, saying the scale of the changes made the independence of Election Commission officials particularly important. If we do not have people like the two Election Commissioners, I dont want to take their name at this point of time. I dont know what trouble they are going to go through, she said. They will be ED raids now, Income Tax raids now. What will happen to them? She concluded by reiterating her warning about the consequences of continued changes to electoral rolls. But if we continue like this, I mean, there will be a time when we are going to resemble a banana republic. There will be no democracy, Mufti said.
