Election Commission fact-checks Form 6 claims after SC observation; Congress targets CEC
The Election Commission of India issued a fact-check statement regarding claims about Form 6 following an observation by the Chief Justice of India. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi seized on the Supreme Court's comment to target Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, asserting that "it is now established beyond doubt that Gyanesh Kumar changed Form 6 illegally and unilaterally."
The dispute centres on procedural matters related to Form 6, a document used in electoral processes. The Congress leader's statement came after the CJI's remarks drew attention to the issue, prompting both the ECI's response and opposition criticism of the election authority's actions.
