Watch | Unprecedented crisis for EC: Something amiss with state elections?
In this episode of Talking Sense With Srini, The Federal's Editor-in-Chief S Srinivasan decodes the protests erupting against CEC Gyanesh Kumar
The controversy surrounding the Election Commission (EC) has shifted from bureaucratic corridors straight onto the streets of New Delhi. Following an explosive Indian Express investigation detailing 14 formal objections by Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi against 'unilateral' decisions of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, the INDIA bloc has launched nationwide protests demanding his resignation.
At the same time, the Supreme Court has entered the fray, examining the contentious alterations to Form 6 and questioning the massive deletion of over 13 crore voters during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). Under intense pressure, the EC has quietly announced an emergency "Special Drive" for booth-level re-verification.
In this episode of Talking Sense With Srini, the flagship weekly YouTube show of The Federal, Editor-in-Chief S Srinivasan unpacks the escalating constitutional showdown.
