That's why ECI is not ready to count at least 50 % of the vote slips.
Exclusive. ECI’s internal records of 2024 elections: On 51 seats of Maharashtra, Haryana and J&K, votes counted differed from votes cast. ECI rules say such mismatch should trigger probe into possible rigging.

Urgent Update
Extremely significant ECI communication following SC’s direction in Delhi SIR case
On October 28, 2026 in the Delhi SIR matter, the SC had observed that making deleted voters on ASDD list fill Form 6 was an ERROR. SC had said that such voters should be allowed to fill enumeration form/ Form 8 if they are marked as permanently shifted or as absent/ untraceable.
Today, the ECI has issued communication dated November 6, 2026 addressed to CEOs of Delhi, Maharashtra, Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Telangana and Nagaland on facilitating inclusion of left out voters. The communication states:
- Voters who are on ASDD list as they had shifted residence, can fill enumeration form along with a statement with details of their new address. In case of homeless persons, field verification by BLO will suffice.
- Voters who could not submit their enumeration form within the deadline and are on ASDD list can submit their enumeration form now along with a statement on why they were unable to do so earlier.
- All those on ASDD list who will now fill enumeration form along with the applicable statement will be re-assigned their old EPIC number. All such cases will be parked for inclusion in final voter list following due verification.
- Wide publicity must be given to all these initiatives, including through media, social media, announcements, reaching out through WhatsApp etc. and facilitation and assistance to be provided to voters.
We welcome this communication issued by the ECI. We believe this is an important step in addressing large scale exclusions caused during SIR. The provision to re-assign the old EPIC numbers is important as it will ensure preservation of voter’s historical record of being an existing voter. Just in Delhi, out of 47.56 lakh deleted in the first phase and put on ASDD, 31.59 lakh were marked as permanently shifted and 11.73 as absent/untraceable. The SC had observed that asking such people to fill Form 6 with its declaration of being a first time voter was an error.
We urge the CEO of Delhi and all other states to take immediate steps to operationalise these critical directions.

LoP राहुल गांधी जी ने वर्तमान प्रधानमंत्री के विदेशी संबंधों पर
उन्हें खुली चुनौती दी है, और ये उन्होंने अपने सोशल मीडिया पर
अकेले खड़े होकर किया।
तो Fraaannndsss कहने वाले नरेंद्र मोदी अब ख़ुद जवाब क्यों नहीं देते??

Five weeks ago we reported that two Election Commissioners had objected 14 times in 10 months, revealing an unprecedented rift inside the Election Commission.
Since then the Commission has reversed course on almost EVERY move the two Commissioners had
red-flagged.
The last was Form 6.
The SIR declaration is now out of the online form everywhere, including the states where the SIR is still running. It’s a separate declaration now.
With this, the reversal is complete. Let me explain.

Is this the BJP government's way of punishing the Chief of the Indian Air Force, Air Chief Marshal A. P. Singh, for raising uncomfortable questions in the national interest?
Since assuming office on 30 September 2024, he has repeatedly raised red flags about India's defence preparedness and the government's strategic and operational shortcomings concerning the Air Force.
Some of the key concerns he has highlighted include:
- India's growing capability gap with China
- The gap between government promises and ground realities
- Delays in indigenous defence production
- Questions over the government's commitment to *Atmanirbhar Bharat* in defence
- Critical capability gaps in the IAF
- Shortcomings in defence research and development
- Shortages of skilled talent in the defence sector
If a decorated Air Chief Marshal raises legitimate concerns about India's defence preparedness, should he be penalised for speaking the truth - or should the government act on those concerns?
Is this how a nation honours its heroes?

#WATCH | Bengaluru: On SIR, Karnataka Minister Rizwan Arshad says, "In a six-month exercise utilizing 65,600 govt officials, including 60,000 BLOs, who are mostly govt school teachers, they have come out and said 4.55 crore voters are enrolled in this new list. As soon as the exercise started, and even before that across the country, Union Home Minister Amit Shah had claimed that there are infiltrators in the voter list. Mostly, he was hinting at Bangladeshis in the voter list, and he said infiltrators are influencing Indian elections... Kumaraswamy very clearly said that Bangladeshis are being supported before we started this exercise. I want to ask them because the Election Commission has very clearly said that only less than 1,000 foreign nationals were identified... 771 foreign nationals were identified in this voter list. Out of these, 588 are Nepalese. They come here, they work here, and they have enrolled to vote. The remaining 183 are Kannadigas who have taken US citizenship, European nation citizenship, and other citizenships. According to my information, not even three Bangladeshis were identified. You made 5 crore Kannadigas stand in the queue to identify three infiltrators or three Bangladeshis. This is just like how you made 100 crore Indians stand in queue during demonetisation and the note ban to identify black money. The EC has to come out clean and say how many infiltrators were identified, how many, particularly Bangladeshis or foreign nationals, were identified. This exercise was to put people through strain and tension, harass them, and make them stand in queues..."

दिल्ली के सबसे व्यस्त बाज़ार चाँदनी चौक के बीचोंबीच मंच लगाकर प्रदर्शन करने के लिए क्या भाजपा ने दिल्ली पुलिस से 10 दिन पहले अनुमति ली थी? या बिना अनुमति ही प्रदर्शन हो रहा है?
शायद अब इससे व्यापार का कोई नुक़सान नहीं होगा!

#WATCH | On Delhi traders' body writing to Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi urging him to postpone INDIA bloc's November 1 rally, Delhi Congress vice president Mudit Agarwal says, "Most of the traders raising this issue are aligned with the BJP. BJP has a tight grip on the traders. Just recently, I took a traders' organization to meet Rahul ji. They explained how the Modi government harasses traders, especially the small ones. Right now, PM Modi is very worried. People are outraged over Gyanesh Kumar's attempts to capture democracy on PM Modi's behalf. The Nov 1 rally, where 10 lakh people will gather, has made PM Modi nervous. First of all, regarding this Rs 10,000 crore (of loss) claim, the wholesale traders around Chandni Chowk are closed on Sundays anyway. Secondly, this is the first time I'm hearing such a strange thing—that wherever people gather in the city, businesses will suffer. When 10 lakh people come to Delhi, they're obviously going to eat and drink here. Who will benefit? The hotels in Delhi, the small restaurants, the hawkers—they will benefit, right? They will benefit. These 10 lakh people are coming to Delhi just a week before Diwali. When they go back to their homes to other states and cities, they'll buy things for themselves and their families from Delhi. Who will they buy those things from? They'll buy from small traders. Some of these people will stay back in Delhi. Who will benefit? The small guest houses and hotels in Delhi. Wherever people gather, business always benefits. They are talking about a Rs 10,000 crore rupee loss. Today, Nitin Nabin was doing a 2-hour padyatra in Chandni Chowk. When he's doing a 2-hour padyatra, it won't cause a loss to businesses but if we do it, it's bad for business—that's a very strange thing..."

Mota Bhai,
कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष मल्लिकार्जुन खरगे ने आज पटना में मोदी जी के पिताजी के बारे में अभद्र टिप्पणी कर सारी मर्यादाएँ तार-तार कर दी हैं।
यह पहली बार नहीं है, जब कांग्रेस पार्टी ने मोदी जी या उनके परिवार को अपशब्द कहे हों। कभी उनकी पूजनीय माताजी के विषय में अपशब्द कहे, कभी उन्हें 'मौत का सौदागर' कहा, तो कभी 'चायवाला' कहकर उनकी गरीबी का उपहास उड़ाया। राहुल गांधी के नेतृत्व में कांग्रेस पार्टी हर रोज अभद्रता की सीमाएँ पार करती जा रही है।
बीते 12 वर्षों में लगातार मिल रही चुनावी हार से कांग्रेस पार्टी में हताशा व निराशा इतनी बढ़ चुकी है कि अब उसके पास न कोई नीति बची है, न कोई मुद्दा, बस गाली-गलौज की राजनीति बची है। जनता के बीच जनाधार खो चुकी कांग्रेस, अब अपने कार्यकर्ताओं में भी आधार खोती जा रही है।
जब-जब इन्होंने मोदी जी या उनके परिवार पर घृणित टिप्पणियाँ की हैं, तब-तब जनता ने कांग्रेस को करारा जवाब दिया है।

A few years ago, Ashu had a high-paying corporate job in London, earning millions. Saurav was writing about the country’s legal system and living a great life. Both had successful careers, financial security and every reason to continue living the lives they had built for themselves.
But they chose to give it all up in the hope of making this country a better place. They had absolutely no reason to leave behind their comfortable lives, take to the streets, face uncertainty and eventually end up in jail. Yet they did.
What I admire most about these two is that despite coming from privileged backgrounds, they chose to fight for those who aren’t as fortunate. They could have easily looked the other way, enjoyed their lives and never bothered about the struggles of people they had never even met. Nobody asked them to make these sacrifices. Nobody expected them to. But they did, because they genuinely care about people beyond themselves.
And to me, that is the greatest quality a human being can have. To stand up for people you don’t know, to fight battles that aren’t your own, and to risk everything you have so that someone else might have a better life.
That’s the kind of people Ashu and Saurav are.
