CEC acted arbitrarily, violated poll law: Ex-Kerala CEO Teeka Ram Meena
Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 26 (IANS) Former Kerala Chief Electoral Officer Teeka Ram Meena has alleged that Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar acted arbitrarily while introducing changes related to Form 6, ignoring the views of the other two members of the Election Commission. Meena, a retired IAS officer, said on Saturday that he had written to Kumar and Election Commissioner Sukhbir Singh Sandhu -- both of whom were his batchmates -- pointing out several differences of opinion over how the poll panel made decisions. The Election Commission is taking independent decisions. With three members, the majority view has to be taken. But Gyanesh acted arbitrarily, Meena said. He alleged that the changes made to Form 6 were contrary to the Representation of the People Act, 1950 and the election rules of 1961. According to him, changes having a statutory bearing could not have been made merely through an executive order. I wrote to both my batchmates pointing out these issues, he said. Meena said the other two Election Commissioners had every right to record their differences with the CEC. He alleged that the manner in which the changes were introduced amounted to a departure from transparency in the functioning of the Election Commission. Transparency was flouted by Gyanesh, Meena said. The former election officer said the Election Commission, as an independent constitutional authority, was required to take decisions collectively and in accordance with the law. He also stressed that the Commission should not succumb to pressure from any quarter, including the Prime Minister. The Election Commission just cannot succumb to any sort of pressure, even from the Prime Minister, as they are given full immunity, Meena said. His comments come at a time when the functioning of the three-member Election Commission has come under intense public scrutiny over differences within the panel and the changes concerning the procedure for inclusion of names in electoral rolls. Meena said the issue was not merely one of difference of opinion among the Commissioners but involved the manner in which statutory provisions and established procedures were being dealt with.

BJP targets Cong over Revanth Reddy's 'Gandhi Parivar' remark
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 26 (IANS) BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari on Saturday launched a sharp attack on the Congress after Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy described the political contest in the country as a fight between the Sangh Parivar and the Gandhi Parivar during an event in Keralas Nilambur. Bhandari shared a video of the event on X in which Reddy stated that a political fight exists between the Sangh Parivar and the Gandhi Parivar. Reddy also expressed his readiness to sacrifice his life for the Gandhi Parivar. Reacting to the remarks, Bhandari alleged that the Congresss primary political objective was to bring the Gandhi family back to power. In his post on X, the BJP national spokesperson wrote: Congress has now openly admitted that, for them, the fight is to get the 'Gandhi family' in power. The truth is out in the open. This has nothing to do with Vote Chori, the Election Commission, the Constitution, or democracy. The Congress partys real objective is to bring the Gandhi-Vadra family back to power. For Congress, Parivarwad first, & Parivarwad only. Bhandari went on to invoke several historical and political issues while criticising what he described as the record of the Gandhi-Vadra familys rule. He cited the Emergency, the 1984 anti-Sikh riots and Indias response to the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. He also raised issues concerning Indias opportunity to become a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, the countrys economic position and poverty levels. The BJP national spokesperson concluded his post by contrasting the two parties stated priorities, writing: For the BJP: Nation First. For Congress: Family First! Bhandaris remarks came in response to Reddys comments in Nilambur, where the Telangana chief minister referred to the political confrontation as a contest between the Sangh Parivar and the Gandhi Parivar. The BJP spokesperson used Reddys remarks to accuse the Congress of putting family politics ahead of issues such as the Election Commission, the Constitution and democracy. The exchange highlights the political disagreement between the BJP and Congress over the role of the Gandhi family and the broader question of Parivarwad in Indian politics. While Reddy spoke of the political fight between the two parivars, Bhandari interpreted the remarks as evidence of what he described as the Congresss focus on bringing the Gandhi-Vadra family back to power.

Venugopal calls for CEC Gyanesh Kumars arrest; CWC, INDIA Bloc to discuss EC row
Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 25 (IANS) AICC General Secretary and Organising Secretary, K.C. Venugopal, on Friday demanded the arrest of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, saying his resignation was not the need of the hour, as reports of serious differences within the Election Commission of India (ECI) over its decisions and processes triggered a fresh political confrontation. Venugopal said the issue would be discussed by the Congress Working Committee at a meeting to be convened next week. He also said a meeting of the INDIA Bloc would be held to discuss the developments surrounding the Election Commission. The remarks came against the backdrop of investigative media reports that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi had raised objections internally to decisions and processes of the poll panel over the past 10 months. The three-member Election Commission is headed by the Chief Election Commissioner, who is first among equals rather than the senior most member, with decisions expected to be taken unanimously as far as possible. In Thiruvananthapuram, Congress leaders and workers marched towards the Lok Bhavan on Friday demanding the immediate removal of Gyanesh Kumar. The protest was part of the Congress' campaign against the functioning of the Election Commission, with the party demanding action against CEC Gyanesh Kumar over what it described as serious violations of the principles governing the poll panel. The controversy has centred particularly on the functioning of the Commission during electoral-roll revision exercises, including the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). CPI(M) leader and former Kerala Chief Minister, Pinarayi Vijayan, also attacked Gyanesh Kumar, alleging that the credibility of the Election Commission, an institution responsible for ensuring free and fair elections, was being seriously undermined. Vijayan alleged that the CEC had overridden legal opinions recorded by the other two Election Commissioners and had undermined the collective functioning of the Commission. He also alleged that non-transparent decisions were being imposed in electoral-roll revision exercises such as SIR and Special Summary Revision, and demanded Kumar's immediate removal. Vijayan called for the revision processes to be stopped and for the voting rights of those allegedly excluded unfairly from the electoral rolls to be restored. He urged democratic forces to participate in nationwide protests scheduled from September 26 to October 2, describing them as a campaign to protect the Constitution and democratic institutions.

Kerala: BJP demands FIR against Pinarayi, daughter in CMRL case
Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 25 (IANS) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state president Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Friday demanded registration of an FIR and a full investigation into the CMRL-Exalogic case against former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, his daughter T. Veena and her husband, former Minister P.A. Mohammed Riyas. He alleged that the CPI(M) and Congress were attempting to divert attention from the Exalogic allegations by targeting senior BJP leader V. Muraleedharan. Chandrasekhar, the party MLA from Nemom, said the BJP would firmly stand with Muraleedharan and resist what he described as a political campaign against him. Muraleedharan has denied the allegations. Chandrasekhar pointed out that Muraleedharan was neither a Minister, MP nor MLA during the period to which the allegations relate. The BJP leader said key questions in the Exalogic case must be answered through a proper investigation: Who paid the money? Who received it? Why was it paid? What were the political links behind it? Chandrasekhar alleged that the accusations against Pinarayi Vijayan and Riyas required investigation under the Prevention of Corruption Act. He said the Enforcement Directorate had provided information to the State Police Chief, and therefore the government should register an FIR and conduct a detailed probe. Instead, the government has ordered a preliminary inquiry by an SIT, he said, questioning the need for another preliminary probe when the stage had already been reached for FIR registration. This naturally raises several questions, he remarked. Chandrasekhar also questioned why the V.D. Satheesan government was not ready to register an FIR and investigate the allegations, alleging that the government feared the probe could reach Congress and Indian Union Muslim League leaders. He accused the Congress and CPI(M) of engaging in a political fight while being one. Chandrasekhar said the BJP would continue to defend Muraleedharan against attempts to divert attention from the Exalogic case. He demanded a transparent, lawful investigation into the allegations against Pinarayi Vijayan, his daughter, and Riyas.
