2 lakh CCTV cameras were installed with taxpayer money to ensure fair elections in Bengal. Yet, when asked to share the footage to verify claims of EVM tampering & counting manipulations, the ECI is refusing. Trust is built on transparency. If jurisdictions in the US can livestream counting rooms 24/7, why can’t the ECI? Watch -

Bizarre! What kind of explanation is this? How can anyone editing a file on their personal computer change the electoral rolls held by the ECI and prevent people from voting? Shocking that the CEC, an IIT graduate, gave this explanation of a ‘machine readable’ file.

Supreme Court is finally hearing petitions challenging the law on appointment of election commissioners. The matter has been pending in the SC since January 2024. In the meantime, current CEC, Gyanesh Kumar, and 2 Election Commmioners were appointed. After the Constitution bench judgment in the Anoop Baranwal case in 2023, the BJP govt had brought the law to replace the CJI with a cabinet minister on the selection panel for appointing Election Commissioners. With a 2:1 majority, the law empowers the ruling party to select candidates of its choice as Chief & commissioners of the ECI. Hope the SC upholds the letter and spirit of its landmark 2023 judgment.

The SIR is a tool for systemic polarisation & othering. Yamini Aiyar explains how the SIR must be recognised for what it is - a tool through which the ‘ghuspetia’ narrative is being pushed to sow the seeds of deep societal exclusion using routine bureaucratic practices. Beyond electoral math, this is its true danger. Watch-
