Congress has criticized the Election Commission for their recent press note regarding the ongoing SIR (Special Intensive Revision) row. The party claims that the EC is in "damage control mode" and that the press note was "wishy-washy" and avoided answering the key questions about the deliberate targeting of Gen Z voters. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh outlined six points of criticism in his statement, including the EC's failure to directly deny the media report, its attempt to justify actions through the Supreme Court's May 27, 2026 order, and the extension of deadlines for voter registration without addressing the disenfranchisement of voters in other states.
Ramesh also called for a suspension of the SIR process and the resignation or prosecution of EC chief Gyanesh Kumar, accusing him of corruption and bias against the Opposition.
