'Were they pressured?' Rahul Gandhi questions who 'ordered' Form 6 changes
Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and a prominent Congress leader, has raised questions about the changes made to the online Form 6 for voter registration in India. In a tweet on X, Gandhi queried who authorized these modifications and whether Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) was under pressure to implement them.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has withdrawn the additional Special Intensive Revision (SIR)-related declaration attached to Form 6 in states where the electoral roll revision exercise has been completed. This move follows a meeting of the full Commission on September 26, where it was decided that the declaration is only applicable to the SIR period and that the standard Registration of Electors Rules 1960 will be used for non-SIR periods.
