Opposition targets EC over SIR report

Opposition parties have criticized the Election Commission (EC) over a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) report, alleging "vote chori" – a crime against the Indian people and a direct attack on the Constitution. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP, RSS, and EC of treason following reports that two election commissioners had repeatedly raised objections to SIR decisions without their knowledge.

Gandhi warned of justice being served and shared a video of his earlier remarks about EC officials committing treason. The SIR rollout, overseen by all three election commissioners, has faced scrutiny, with former Chief Election Commissioner O.P. Rawat also criticizing the changes as illegal. Opposition leaders, including Abhishek Singhvi, Arvind Kejriwal, and Abhishek Banerjee, have called for the arrest of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and a court-monitored investigation into the EC's functioning.
