  "account": "The Election Commission of India has labeled Rahul Gandhi's recent claim regarding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's unilateral alteration of Form 6 as misleading, asserting that the order for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Bihar followed a unanimous decision and received Supreme Court approval. Gandhi had accused Kumar of \"changing Form 6 illegally and unilaterally,\" a charge the EC dismissed, emphasizing that the electoral roll revision was a collective decision of the poll body. The EC further clarified that the declaration attached to Form 6 for SIR was upheld by the Supreme Court, and the online version of the form and declaration were designed to minimize procedural duplicities. The Supreme Court itself has not endorsed any modifications to Form 6 during the SIR process.",
