It does not spare anybody. Indira Gandhi won the Bangladesh war, was at the height of her popularity, and then suddenly, within a year or two, massive anti-incumbency, massive pressure,” he added.Meanwhile, police personnel have been deployed outside the Election Commission office in Delhi ahead of a protest demonstration by Delhi Congress over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and demands for the resignation of Gyanesh Kumar.The Indian Youth Congress is also scheduled to hold a protest march from 5, Raisina Road to Jantar Mantar on Friday, demanding the resignation of Kumar.The Indian Youth Congress (IYC) on Thursday also launched a nationwide online citizens’ petition titled “Gyanesh, It’s Done Bro”, seeking action against the CEC and calling upon citizens, particularly young people, to participate in a campaign for electoral transparency and accountability.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesAn Indian Express report has highlighted differences among members of the EC over the SIR of electoral rolls. The report said Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi raised formal objections on at least 14 occasions over a 10-month period against decisions and orders related to electoral-roll processes.The Election Commission, however, described the queries and observations raised by its members as part of its routine internal process.
