Election Commission's Special Revision Controversy

The most important thing the Election

Commission told the Supreme Court is that

the decision to conduct a Special

Intensive Revision nationwide

that is, the decision to conduct a special

intensive revision of the voter list

the decision to clean up the voter list

was taken by the Election Commission

unanimously. That is,

it was taken with the consent of all

three Election Commissioners.

All three SIR orders of June 2025,

October 2025, and May 2026 were

unanimous decisions of the Commission.

That is, Dr. Vivek Joshi, Dr. S. S. Sandhu, and Gyanesh

Kumar made the decision by consensus.

This was told to the Supreme Court

by the Election Commission. But what is the truth?

When the SIR began in Bihar,

a circular was issued on June 24.

There was an uproar in Bihar.

The names of 6.8 million voters

were deleted.

Allegations of vote theft

were being made. At that

time, an RTI was filed. The RTI specifically asked this question

The SIR that has caused chaos across Bihar

who ultimately made that decision?

Let me present the RTI's

findings before you. What was asked?

This RTI was filed on 28 June. The RTI

asked for files related to the decision

to undertake a nationwide SIR,

notings and correspondence, so it could be known

who made the decision and when.

Do you know what the

Principal Secretary of the

Election Commission of India

replied at the time?

The Commission's response is on

record. You can go anywhere and check it.

What does the Commission say in

its reply? The Commission

has so far not taken any

decision on

initiating a Special Intensive

Revision across the country in

2025

and hence no information

to be provided in

this regard. The Commission has not

even taken a decision on the SIR, and

therefore, there is no file in this regard,

In connection with this,

anything related to it, we are unable

to provide. This is what the Election

Commission of India is saying.
