BJP Defends SIR, Hits Back at Rahul Gandhi over Election Commission Allegations
- On Thursday, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi demanded the immediate resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, alleging the official undermined voters' rights and "destroyed" India's vote during the Special Intensive Revision process.
- Gandhi's comments followed an Indian Express investigation published Wednesday, which revealed that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi formally objected at least 14 times over 10 months to poll panel decisions regarding electoral rolls.
- Alleging a conspiracy involving Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, Gandhi labeled the trio "deshdrohis" and claimed 2024 elections were rigged, playing videos showing Modi raising the "Abki Baar 400 Paar" slogan.
- The Election Commission defended its actions, stating "operational queries or inputs raised by commission members during draft stages are part of standard administrative practice," while opposition parties demanded a Supreme Court-monitored investigation into the report.
- Warning that "there are going to be consequences to this," Gandhi argued that if "votes are destroyed," then "our Constitution has been destroyed," suggesting Kumar "should seriously think and turn approver" in the country's interest.
