In this episode of Briefing Room, Madhavdas G discusses the reported differences within the Election Commission over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi reportedly raised objections at least 14 times over 10 months on issues including voter registration, deletion and restoration of names, Form 6 and electoral-roll data. The reported objections have triggered a political row, with Opposition leaders raising questions over the functioning of the poll panel and making allegations of “vote chori” and demanding action against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The BJP has described dissent within the poll panel as part of democratic functioning. The Election Commission has rejected suggestions of a breakdown and maintained that final decisions, including those related to SIR, were unanimous. The episode examines the reported objections, the competing claims and the questions surrounding decision-making within the constitutional body.#electioncommission #eci #gyaneshkumar #sukhbirsinghsandhu #vivekjoshi #sir #specialintensiverevision #voterlist #electoralroll #briefingroom #timesnow #englishnews
