@ARanganathan72 India Today conveniently quoted Prof Ranganathan OUT OF CONTEXT. The reason why he said the CEC "should be impeached" was because he had a reason to disqualify 'Rahul Gandhi'/Raul Vinci but didn't do so.

VIDEO | On the EC-SIR row, senior advocate Prashant Bhushan says, “The revelation made today is extremely serious. It shows that the Election Commission has become the fiefdom of one person, Gyanesh Kumar. There are three Election Commissioners, and the other two have repeatedly raised objections to decisions of the Election Commission. Yet Gyanesh Kumar continues to do what he wants and ignores the other two Election Commissioners. An even more serious aspect of this revelation is that Gyanesh Kumar has centralised the entire IT system of the Election Commission to such an extent that all decisions are being taken centrally by the Election Commission in Delhi, including whose name should be added to the electoral roll, whose name should not be added and whose name should be deleted... This is such a serious matter that Gyanesh Kumar should not merely be removed from office; he should also be prosecuted. This is what needs to be done in this country.”

“Today’s Election Commission clarification does not claim that any of those four letters reported by The Indian Express were fraudulent.

#DemocraticNewsroom | A heated debate over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls saw journalist Rajdeep Sardesai question the Election Commission’s handling of voter deletions and alleged discrepancies. GAURAV C SAWANT said disputed cases would ultimately have to be settled through due legal process. Meanwhile, Siddharth Zarabi questions whether the focus on SIR should be on errors alone, or also on the larger number of approved cases. #SIR #RajdeepSardesai #ElectionCommission #VoterRights #ElectoralRolls #ITTVReels

#WATCH | Patna: Bihar LoP Tejashwi Yadav reacts to Indian Express report on 2 ECs objecting to discrepancies in SIR process. He says, "Two Election Commissioners have raised serious questions about the SIR process. Still, the Election Commission is silent. Gyanesh Kumar is silent. Election Commission's press release is what PM Modi and Amit Shah made them write. RJD was the first to oppose when the SIR process started in Bihar. We asked several serious questions. RJD fought from the streets to the Supreme Court. We knew that there wouldn't be a level playing field in Elections anymore because Election Commission is working like BJP's puppet. The report makes it clear that CEC Gyanesh Kumar has BJP's protection to work for the party. So, SIR is being done arbitrarily across the country. Be it Bihar, Maharashtra, Delhi, Haryana or West Bengal - Opposition didn't lose there, BJP was made to win in these states with the help of Election Commission. For their own benefit, PM Modi and Amit Shah defied all rules and made the CEC work arbitrarily. The process still continues in several states..."

Supreme Court Judge-EC Link adds a new controversy to the debate around Gyanesh Kumar. Justice SC Sharma whose son is a counsel for the EC in M.P heard a critical case challenging the appointment of the CEC & ECs, with no disclosure on his son's links to EC. Gyanesh Kumar is a respondent in the case. The lawyer for the petitioners Gopal Sankaranarayanan points out that Gyanesh Kumar was already in the EC, when a few months later, Justice Sharma's son was registered as counsel for EC. He asks why no disclosure was made and whether Justice Sharma's fellow judge knew. A review petiton before the same bench ( the verdict was split) could demand an annulment of the judgment and bring the conflict of interest charge into officially into open court.
