  "account": "On Monday, the Supreme Court stated that it had not approved any changes to Form 6, the voter registration application used by citizens. This prompted the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) to question the chief election commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar, over who gave the go-ahead for the modifications. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke accused Kumar of acting against the rule of law and serving his political bosses. Ashutosh Ranka, CJP co-convenor, alleged that the Election Commission of India (ECI) misled the public by claiming Form 6 declarations had been upheld by the Supreme Court. The CJP also criticized the Supreme Court for distancing itself from Kumar's alleged illegal actions.",
  "summary": "CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke asked how did the CEC modify Form 6 if the Supreme Court had not given its approval.",
