CJP Founder Abhijeet Dipke Labels CEC Gyanesh Kumar Enemy of India Over EC Rift
· India · Hindustan Times, LiveMint
Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke called Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar the enemy of India following media reports regarding an internal rift within the poll body. Dipke alleged on social media that the CEC is scripting elections and claimed over 12 crore names were deleted from electoral rolls. The controversy stems from a report claiming two Election Commissioners, Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, formally objected on record 14 times over ten months. The objections reportedly involved decisions connected to the Special Intensive Revision electoral roll clean-up drive that removed over 13 crore names across 30 states and union territories. Election Commission sources responded by stating that all decisions, including the revision exercise, received approval from all three election commissioners.
Why it matters
Public accusations against the Chief Election Commissioner by political figures intensify scrutiny over the Election Commission's internal functioning and voter roll revision processes.
