EC Refutes Voter Fraud in Supreme Court as Congress & BJP Face Off
The Election Commission of India has submitted a comprehensive affidavit to the Supreme Court countering accusations regarding the special intensive revision of electoral rolls. Refuting charges of unilateral decisions by Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, the poll body maintained that all three orders regarding the exercise were made unanimously. It clarified that Form 6 remains unamended, voter modifications require statutory orders from Electoral Registration Officers, and resolved issues regarding voters in Goa and appeals in West Bengal. Meanwhile, political confrontations have intensified. The Congress party, led by Rahul Gandhi, continues to target the process as an infringement on voter rights and planned a mock parliament to seek the CEC's impeachment. The Delhi Police clarified that permissions for the Congress rally at Ramlila Maidan remain valid, though local traders have raised concerns over potential financial losses during the festival season. Concurrently, the Bharatiya Janata Party announced a nationwide counter-campaign to inform citizens about the roll revision.
