· India · Indian Express
The Congress party stepped up its attack on the Election Commission, asserting that the poll panel's proposed measures regarding SIR are an admission that the exercise has been a disaster. Congress MP Jairam Ramesh stated that core issues involving the ECINet software and deletion of eligible voters remain unaddressed by the poll panel. Keralam Chief Minister V D Satheesan and Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra targeted CEC Gyanesh Kumar, with Satheesan calling for his resignation and alleging mutual collusion with the BJP. The remarks follow recent reports detailing objections raised by election commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi over SIR decisions across ten months. The political confrontation highlights growing opposition demands for accountability within India's electoral administration.
