Youth Congress Targets Election Commissioner in Bhopal Protest

The demonstration centered on allegations that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process was compromised, resulting in the wrongful deletion of eligible voters. Ankit Dubey, the Bhopal district president of the Youth Congress, claimed that two other commissioners had filed 14 written objections over a ten-month period regarding the SIR process, yet those concerns remained unaddressed. According to Dubey, the lack of transparency surrounding these deletions indicates a partisan bias that threatens the integrity of future elections.

Youth Congress state secretary Mohit Saxena echoed these concerns, linking the internal commission disputes to wider claims of systemic vote theft. The group intends to escalate their campaign with further demonstrations across the region. They argue that as long as Kumar remains in his position, the fairness of the electoral system cannot be guaranteed, asserting that the current administration of the voter database serves the interests of the BJP.
