'Modified' form 6 row: Why is Rahul Gandhi training his guns on Gyanesh Kumar, what SC said and how EC responded
Supreme Court clarifies it did not approve changes to Election Commission's Form 6 for voter registration. With allegations of unilateral decisions by CEC Gyanesh Kumar, the Congress party launches protests, questioning the integrity of the electoral process. The political drama intensifies.
A heated dispute has erupted over the actions of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, with accusations that he unilaterally altered Form 6, the form used to enroll new voters in electoral rolls. The Congress party, led by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, has launched a nationwide campaign to remove Kumar from his post, alleging that he changed Form 6 illegally.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has countered these allegations, stating that the Supreme Court has upheld the original order for a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and that the modifications made to Form 6 are in line with existing electoral rules. The Supreme Court, in its judgment dated May 27, 2026, clarified that it had not approved any modifications to Form 6, leaving the controversy unresolved.
