THE TREACHEROUS CONSPIRACIES OF THE SIR – ELECTION COMMISSION:
THE FASCISTS EXPOSED! LET US STRIKE THEM DOWN!

Dear Working People and Democratic Forces!

The much-touted honesty and neutrality of the Indian Election Commission (ECI) have become a laughing stock, a farce, and the stench of their neutrality reeks through the nation. Democratic forces and opposition parties have continuously accused it of engaging in vote theft and of stripping BJP’s opponents of their voting rights. Now, evidence for this has emerged from within the ECI itself and has been exposed.

The Constitution states that ‘the ECI must take its decisions either unanimously or on a majority basis.’ But the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar has taken all decisions arbitrarily, including the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). This happened even though the other two Election Commissioners registered their objections 14 times in 10 months! To a question asked under the Right to Information Act – ‘Who took the decision to implement SIR? ’, it has replied in writing that ‘that decision was not taken by the ECI at all.’ What further proof is needed to declare this institution a puppet of fascism!

The ECI has newly added to Form 6 (the form for enrolling new voters) the question: ‘were the voter’s parents or ancestors on the 2003 SIR list?’. The hidden motive here is to implement CAA-NRC, which the Modi government brought in 2020 to strip anti-BJP citizens of their citizenship and then halted due to protests, through the back door. Here too, a blatant violation of the Constitution has occurred. Form 6, which must be changed with the approval of both Houses of Parliament, has been blatantly and arbitrarily altered.

As soon as this matter was exposed, it issued a barefaced lie as a press release claiming that this amendment was made only with the approval of the Supreme Court. The SC, which was a witting accomplice in all of the ECI’s constitutional violations, has now, fearing public backlash, torn the mask off the lie by stating that “it has not granted any such approval”!

The power to add or remove voters has been snatched from the local Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) and centralized in Delhi. As a result, if someone’s name now appears on the SIR list, then in the future, if they oppose the fascist gang, a committee sitting in Delhi can strip them of their voting rights and citizenship! Even when the Supreme Court itself ordered that 97 people wrongly removed in Goa be re-added to the list, the local ERO could not do it. They had to run to Delhi to file a petition. So, even if the SC orders it, it is the committee sitting in Delhi that will henceforth decide who gets voting rights and citizenship!!

All of this has been done arbitrarily and illegally by CEC Gyanesh Kumar at the bidding of the fascist gang.

Through the SIR launched after Gyanesh Kumar took charge as CEC in February 2025, the voting rights of 13 crore people across the country have so far been stripped. This stripping of voting rights has been staged, targeting minorities and anti-BJP voters, solely for the BJP’s electoral victory. Most alarmingly, in Uttar Pradesh alone, a staggering 2.89 crore people have been removed. Of those removed in just the Darbhanga and Pilibhit constituencies, 90% are Muslims! In Delhi’s Chandni Chowk, 908 out of 909 people were removed in a single polling booth! This dire situation persists in the other states too!

It was to stage such conspiracies that the Modi gang brought in a special law in 2023, removing the role of the Chief Justice of India (CJI) in appointing the CEC. Furthermore, it has legally granted the CEC enormous protection that no action taken by him during his tenure can be subject to criminal proceedings for his entire lifetime. Not even the Prime Minister or the President has such an impunity!

After all these truths were exposed, the Modi government and the ECI, caught with their hands in the till, are maintaining silence. They are unleashing police and saffron goons to attack and sexually assault protesters. They are slandering the protests themselves as foreign conspiracies and anarchism. On the other hand, in Tamil Nadu, both the TVK, which boasts of being the ‘ideological enemy of the BJP’, and the DMK which blustered about ‘firmly opposing fascism’, are maintaining a deceitful silence and committing a treacherous betrayal on this burning issue.

If we allow all this to continue, what is happening today in the northern states and West Bengal will unfold across the entire nation. The voting rights and citizenship of all who oppose the BJP will be stripped, and we will be made refugees within our own country! We will be locked up in concentration camps!

The fascist gang will never fear opposition protests, parliamentary uproar, or court cases. The only path that can frighten them into submission is the masses on the streets! The courageous student protest against the NEET irregularities proved exactly this! The only way before us to protect ourselves is to wage a courageous, massive war against the ECI and the Modi-Shah fascist gang! Let the fire of protest spread! Let it burn the fascist gang to ashes!!
