Who at EC ordered TCS to make 'illegal' change in Form 6, asks Rahul
The Congress leaders' remarks come a day after the opposition INDIA bloc announced joint 'save democracy' marches in all districts and five major rallies
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi expressed concern on Thursday (October 1, 2026) over the illegal alteration of the online Form 6, a key document for voter registration. He questioned who at the Election Commission ordered Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) to make this change and who at the company ultimately approved it. Rahul Gandhi's claim that the change in Form 6 was orchestrated by the Prime Minister-Minister (PM-HM) duo was echoed by Congress general secretary in-charge of communications, Jairam Ramesh.
He stated that the modifications to Form 6 were unconstitutionally introduced by the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) in mid-July 2026, with the intention of removing young voters from the electoral roll. The opposition INDIA bloc announced joint marches and rallies demanding the rescheduling of future polls and a Supreme Court intervention.
The opposition MPs also called for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation during their meeting. The opposition group emphasized the need for decisive action against those responsible for the alleged electoral malpractices.
