14 disregarded objections and growing dissent within the Election Commission expose a deeply flawed and authoritarian process.

When the very umpires of a democracy are accused of fixing the game, the psychological fallout is catastrophic. CEC Gyanesh Kumar finds himself at the center of an unprecedented storm after it was revealed that 14 crucial objections raised by fellow Election Commissioners were blatantly ignored. The controversy over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and changes to Form 6 for new voters has triggered mass outrage. The desperation of a regime trying to cling to power by manipulating voter rolls has been laid bare. We stand at a critical juncture where the resignation of Gyanesh Kumar is the only path to restoring public trust.
