India's Election Commission (ECI), responsible for overseeing the country's democratic elections, is under increased scrutiny due to internal disagreements and allegations of irregularities involving its chief, Gyanesh Kumar. The ECI consists of three members: Kumar, Sukhbir Singh Sandhu, and Vivek Joshi. Recent reports, including one from the Indian Express, suggest that Sandhu and Joshi have raised concerns about the integrity of the voter database, changes to voter enrollment procedures, and the security of electoral rolls. They claim that Kumar made several decisions without consulting them, with at least 14 instances in the past 10 months where they were not informed of key actions. This controversy comes amid a nationwide effort to revise the electoral database, known as the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). The ECI says the last revision was conducted nearly 25 years ago and that the current update is necessary to remove ineligible voters, such as those who have died, moved, or are registered in multiple places. However, the process has drawn criticism from opposition parties, who accuse Kumar of manipulating the voter list to benefit Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Both the BJP and the ECI have denied these allegations. Former Election Commission Chief SY Quraishi, who has been critical of the SIR process, noted that Sandhu and Joshi were initially quiet but now appear to be acting in protest. Opposition leaders, including Congress party leader Rahul Gandhi, have demanded Kumar's resignation, accusing the ECI of "stealing votes" and calling for justice. Gandhi shared a video on social media stating, "your time will come" to the commission and its officers. Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee called for Kumar's arrest and demanded fresh elections in West Bengal using the voter list from before the SIR, citing the removal of 2.7 million voters in the state as a reason for her party's loss. The ECI defended its processes, stating that differing opinions are a normal part of decision-making and that the commission has implemented several reforms. The BJP has dismissed the opposition's criticism as a "smear campaign" and emphasized that dissent is a sign of a healthy democracy. However, analysts suggest that the ECI's defense may not satisfy critics, and there are growing calls for Kumar to address these concerns to preserve the commission's impartiality.
