Supreme Court Questions CEC Powers As Opposition Steps Up SIR Protest

With the Supreme Court examining key issues related to the Chief Election Commissioner's powers and decision-making process, the political battle over the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls is intensifying. Nineteen Opposition parties are set to march to the Election Commission seeking greater transparency and safeguards against voter exclusions, while also demanding the resignation of CEC Gyanesh Kumar. The ECI and BJP have rejected the allegations. As AAP stays away from the joint protest, the debate now centres on electoral trust, institutional accountability, and whether the Opposition can sustain a united campaign against the Commission.
