CCG Open Letter on Accountability of Union Education Minister .

1/n An Appeal to the Sovereign People of India by @consticonduct & Group on Federalism & Elections (GFE) ***** Never before in the history of our Republic has the trust reposed by the People in our electoral system been shaken so rudely, brazenly, and with such ruthless impunity. The recent elections to the West Bengal Vidhan Sabha revealed grave dysfunctionalities and abdication of responsibility within the two institutions constitutionally mandated to be the custodians of that trust: the Election Commission of India (ECI) and the Supreme Court. This democratic trust was built painstakingly over several decades of robust democratic practice. Until recently, successive ECs contributed to streamlining systems, learning from experience, introducing technological innovations, and communicating transparently with all stakeholders. That collective effort now stands negated and marginalized. The foundational concept of universal adult franchise, upon which the architecture of our electoral democracy rests, has been damaged wilfully and wantonly. The trust that existed stands broken. The Subversion of Electoral Rolls In breaking this trust, a diabolical stratagem was introduced by the ECI and subsequently legitimized by the Supreme Court. The ECI weaponized its lawful constitutional authority to introduce unnecessarily convoluted processes that enabled large-scale manipulations of the Electoral Rolls. These processes—particularly the Special Intensive Revision (SIR)—had no precedent, no clear basis in law, and no verified necessity. To this day, there has been no explanation from the ECI for placing reliance on an arbitrarily designed algorithm with a set of irrational criteria to flag “logical discrepancies” in the electoral roll entries of voters and effectively disenfranchising millions of them. There was no reason to abandon the time-tested, continuously refined procedures that had made the ECI an internationally recognized repository of best practices. Historically, these efforts ensured that even a voter living in the remotest part of India felt included, transforming the Election Photo Identity Card (EPIC) into a proud symbol of personal stake in constitutional democracy. More than just a display of the autocratic style of the current incumbents of the ECI, the wilful disruption of this system served as a subterfuge to carry out large-scale manipulations in the electoral rolls. By shifting the onus on the citizens to enlist themselves as voters and show documentary proof of their legitimacy, by overturning the natural presumption of citizenship that existed in their favour and instead requiring them to show documents which few of them had access to (even when they were already registered as voters in the electoral rolls), by introducing lineage as the basis of voting rights, the ECI ensured that the stated purpose of "purification" of the rolls—itself a term redolent of the practices of the Third Reich—was a mere pretext to ensure the mass exclusion of those who could have resisted a complete shift in the balance of power from a regional party to an ideologically driven, hegemonic, majoritarian force. Post-poll data convincingly demonstrates a biased deletion exercise designed to overwhelmingly influence outcomes. When 9 million legitimate voters in West Bengal alone were removed from the rolls—including at least 2.7 million verified living citizens barred due to "logical discrepancies" found in their documents—it became obvious that the adopted process was wilfully engineered to exclude. An election conducted under these conditions is a monumental fraud on the electorate. This holds true irrespective of who won or deserved to win. Had the outcome been different, the process itself would still stand completely vitiated because it denied legitimate citizens their right to vote. In a true republic, denying even a single citizen their vote without due process should nullify an election.

The Calcutta High Court has overruled the Union government’s preliminary objections to a batch of petitions alleging that it violated the Forest Rights Act while obtaining consent for its ₹92,000 crore Great Nicobar Island project. ✍️@al_lakshman thehindu.com/news/national/c…
