Form 6 flaws, past polls, other red flags: What EC dissent row has exposed
The latest episode of Talking Sense with Srini delves deep into the problematic events at the poll body uncovered by an Indian Express report
An explosive Indian Express report has revealed an unprecedented crisis within the Election Commission (EC). Two Election Commissioners, Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, have raised 14 formal objections over the past 10 months against decisions allegedly taken without their knowledge.
The report has triggered a political maelstrom across the nation, with the Congress and other Opposition parties, as well as activist groups such as the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation.
On this episode of Talking Sense with Srini, the flagship YouTube program of The Federal, Editor-in-Chief S Srinivasan talks about the controversy surrounding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise that removed 13 crore voters, the alarming centralisation of electoral roll data, and what this means for the future of Indian elections.
