Chandigarh [India], October 2 (ANI): Congress MP Manish Tewari on Friday demanded that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) be scrapped, alleging that it had deprived more than 13 crore people of their right to vote.

<nh-chunk-delimit />&quot;SIR needs to be cancelled, as it has deprived more than 13 crore people of their right to vote,&quot; Tewari said.He compared the number of people he claimed had been affected by the exercise with the population of countries across the world.&quot;There are many countries with a total population of 10 crore. Globally, only 16 countries have a population exceeding 10 crore; thus, the number of people here who have been denied the right to vote exceeds the entire population of many nations,&quot; he said.Tewari demanded that the SIR be scrapped and that the electoral roll existing when the Lok Sabha election results were declared on June 4, 2024, be restored.&quot;SIR should be scrapped, the electoral roll that existed when the Lok Sabha results were declared on June 4, 2024, should be restored, and the Chief Election Commissioner must resign immediately,&quot; he said.&quot;This is the demand of the entire nation today,&quot; Tewari added. Meanwhile, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MP Manoj Jha on Friday backed the opposition parties&apos; protest at Jantar Mantar over the role of the Election Commission in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), saying such a democratic protest was taking place on Mahatma Gandhi&apos;s birth anniversary.Jha said the protest was not only a programme of opposition parties but also represented citizens who, according to him, had concerns about the functioning of democratic institutions.&quot;I understand that the opposition parties have their own separate programme. This is a programme of the citizens. Every citizen who is a stakeholder in this republic feels that a single person, a puppet whose strings are pulled elsewhere, is making the decisions,&quot; Jha said.On criticism of the Election Commission over Form 8 and developments related to SIR, Jha alleged that irregularities had been systematically committed and questioned why no explanation had been given.&quot;Today, if you look at the headline of the same newspaper, it came yesterday with the title &apos;Course Correction&apos;, saying things are happening. Where the SIR has ended, people are still filing; what does this indicate?&quot; he said.&quot;A crime was being systematically committed. An illegality was committed, and no one even tries to find a reason for it,&quot; Jha alleged.He further criticised the Election Commission over its decisions and alleged that the institution&apos;s actions had failed to withstand scrutiny.Referring to the Election Commission&apos;s decision to conduct a special drive in 20 states, Jha said the concerns raised earlier had been denied and alleged that the latest developments amounted to an admission of those concerns.&quot;The things people were pointing out back then, you were denying them out of your ego, or under pressure from someone, or a combination of both. Today I say it again, a basic understanding of criminal law shows that this is an act of confession,&quot; Jha said.On Rahul Gandhi&apos;s allegation that the Prime Minister, Home Minister and Election Commissioner had jointly taken actions that would damage democracy, Jha said similar concerns had been raised by RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav earlier.&quot;Tejashwi ji has said this many times before. What was done with the postal ballot with us in 2020? So why did you give them immunity?&quot; he said.&quot;No one in a high position has immunity, but you gave it to them. Because you wanted to cover up the illegality, and that is why I am saying this thread goes right to the top,&quot; Jha alleged. (ANI)

Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], October 2 (ANI): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday paid floral tribute to Mahatma Gandhi on his 157th birth anniversary and remembered the Father of the Nation's contribution to India's freedom struggle through the principles of 'self-reliance' and 'swadeshi'.

<nh-chunk-delimit />Speaking on the occasion, Yogi Adityanath said the day was important for every Indian as it marked the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, as well as the 122nd birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri.&quot;Today is a very important day for every Indian. Today is the 157th holy birth anniversary of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi ji. This is also the 122nd pious birth anniversary of the late Lal Bahadur Shastri ji. On this occasion, bowing to the holy memories of both these great men, on behalf of all the residents of my state, I offer my humble tributes,&quot; Yogi said.Recalling Mahatma Gandhi&apos;s role in the freedom movement, the Chief Minister said his message of self-reliance and Swadeshi became a mantra for India&apos;s struggle for independence.&quot;Respected Bapu&apos;s self-reliance, from Swadeshi, became the mantra for India&apos;s freedom. The movement for India&apos;s freedom, which was previously scattered, under the leadership of revered Bapu became a mass movement and forced the British government, a symbol of foreign slavery, to leave India,&quot; he said.Yogi Adityanath said the Uttar Pradesh government was observing Gandhi Jayanti by promoting Khadi and announced that a 25 per cent discount on Khadi clothes would be available until January 30, 2027.&quot;Khadi is the mantra of India&apos;s independence, and I will appeal to the residents of the state that every person makes Khadi a part of their life. Our artisans and craftsmen do good work. Respect their skill,&quot; he said.He said Gandhiji&apos;s message of self-reliance and independence could become a foundation for a developed India, referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi&apos;s call for taking local products to global markets.&quot;This mantra of self-reliance and independence of Gandhiji will become the foundation stone of a developed India. For this, the Prime Minister says, &apos;Local to global&apos;. Whatever has been created by our artisans, handicraftsmen and weavers in our villages and streets, to encourage it, to spend money on it and provide it with a platform, this is truly our gratitude to the great heroes of India&apos;s independence,&quot; Yogi said.Speaking about Lal Bahadur Shastri, Yogi said the former Prime Minister was remembered for his simplicity, gentleness and determination.&quot;Today&apos;s day is also the auspicious birth anniversary of India&apos;s second Prime Minister, the revered Lal Bahadur Shastri ji. The mere mention of Shastri ji&apos;s name fills every Indian&apos;s heart with reverence for his simplicity and gentleness. As simple and effortless as he was, he was equally tough on the inside. As sensitive as he was, his personality was equally resilient,&quot; he said.Yogi said Shastri lived by the principle of doing what he said and saying what he did, while highlighting his contribution towards foodgrain self-reliance and his call of &quot;Jai Jawan Jai Kisan&quot;.&quot;He did what he said, he said what he did. The task of achieving foodgrain self-reliance for India was to be accomplished. A feeling of respect for the soldiers fighting on the country&apos;s borders arises in the heart of every Indian. Their slogan of &apos;Jai Jawan Jai Kisan&apos; became a mantra for India within independent India,&quot; Yogi said.He said that while soldiers protected the country&apos;s borders, farmers worked to make India self-reliant in foodgrain production.&quot;On one hand, a soldier was outwitting India&apos;s enemies while protecting the borders. On the other hand, our hardworking farmer, through his hard work and sweat, seemed committed to making India self-reliant in foodgrain supply,&quot; he said.Yogi said India had since achieved foodgrain self-reliance and was capable of producing enough food for its 1.4 billion people while also supplying food to several countries.&quot;Today is the result of that; India has achieved the goal of foodgrain self-reliance. Today India not only produces enough food to feed its 1.4 billion Indians, it also has the capacity to supply food to many countries in this world,&quot; he said.He also paid tribute to Indian soldiers guarding the country&apos;s borders and strengthening its internal and external security, saying it was part of the legacy that Shastri gave to the people of India in 1965.In a separate statement, BJP MP Brijlal also paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi and recalled his message of truth and non-violence.&quot;Today is the birthday of our Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi. It is his 157th birth anniversary, which we celebrate across the country as a national festival. He taught the nation the lessons of truth and non-violence. The country should follow that path. Today, this birthday is a national festival for us, and on this day, I pay my countless salutations to our Father of the Nation,&quot; Brijlal said.Yogi Adityanath concluded by paying tribute to the memories of both Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri on behalf of the people of Uttar Pradesh.

New Delhi [India], October 2 (ANI): Members of the Students' Federation of India (SFI) and Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) on Friday staged a protest near Jantar Mantar against the Election Commission and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, with CPI(M) leaders demanding the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

<nh-chunk-delimit />The protest was held despite Delhi Police denying permission for the proposed demonstration and imposing prohibitory restrictions under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023. Security has been tightened in central Delhi amid the gathering.CPI(M) General Secretary MA Baby, who joined the protest, alleged that Kumar had violated rules governing the functioning of the Election Commission and demanded his removal.&quot;Gyanesh Kumar should be arrested for the criminal activity of cutting people&apos;s votes,&quot; Baby said.Speaking to reporters earlier, Baby said thousands of youth and student leaders from SFI and DYFI had come to Delhi from different parts of the country.&quot;In Jantar Mantar and a few other places in Delhi, thousands of youth and student leaders of the Students Federation of India and Democratic Youth Federation have come from different parts of the country. I think they should be the biggest mobilization in Delhi today,&quot; he said.He alleged that Kumar had been &quot;nakedly violating all existing rules&quot; governing the Election Commission and demanded his removal.&quot;He should be removed as he&apos;s not resigning; he has to be removed. Till he is removed, the student youth movement will continue,&quot; Baby said.Referring to the INDIA bloc&apos;s planned programmes, Baby said, &quot;The India Bloc has also taken a decision. November 1st, we are going to have a rally in Delhi. On 6th of October, MPs belonging to the INDIA bloc and others would be protesting.&quot;CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat also demanded Kumar&apos;s removal and called for an immediate halt to the SIR exercise.&quot;The main question is to make the CEC resign and remove him. He won&apos;t resign; he needs to be removed. The SIR must be stopped immediately, and the Election Commission must be fixed by changing the 2023 law,&quot; Karat said.Meanwhile, Aam Aadmi Party leaders were also protesting in central Delhi, raising the issue of SIR. AAP Delhi president Saurabh Bharadwaj was detained by Delhi Police soon after reaching Jantar Mantar and joining the protest.Bharadwaj alleged that police personnel had mishandled women protesters and said he had also been scratched by police personnel during his detention.Minutes before his detention, Bharadwaj said police personnel, including the SHO, had been stationed outside his residence and that he had reached Jantar Mantar despite the restrictions.&quot;I came along. The SHO sat outside my home the whole night. Right now, police personnel are outside my home, even after I told them that I am not at my residence,&quot; he said.He also urged young people to reach the protest site, saying he had travelled without a vehicle.&quot;But I want to tell my young people and Gen Z that if I can reach here without any vehicle, using the metro, then you can also be here,&quot; Bharadwaj said.In a post on X, he said he and AAP MLA Sanjeev Jha had been detained despite the protest being peaceful and called on people to continue the demonstration peacefully.Bharadwaj also said the protest was about democracy and freedom and urged people to pursue the issue through constitutional and peaceful means.&quot;This is a fight where if we don&apos;t fight, democracy and freedom in this country are all going to end. Therefore, you have to fight this battle. You have to fight this battle in a technical, constitutional, and peaceful manner; there is no other option,&quot; he said.Delhi Police has imposed Section 163 of the BNSS in New Delhi, under which assemblies of five or more people, processions, demonstrations, picketing, dharnas, slogans and speeches are prohibited without prior written permission. Police have also barred the carrying of firearms, banners, placards, lathis, swords, sticks and similar articles.DCP New Delhi Sachin Sharma said preventive arrangements had been made and appealed to people to cooperate with the police.&quot;Section 163 of the BNSS is in force in New Delhi, and protests, demonstrations, marches and similar activities are not permitted. Preventive arrangements have been made, and everyone is requested to follow the law and cooperate with the police,&quot; Sharma said.Police and Rapid Action Force personnel, along with a riot control vehicle, have been deployed at Jantar Mantar, while barricades have been placed on roads leading to the area. Additional security personnel have also been sought in view of the expected turnout.The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has closed entry and exit at 11 stations until further notice, including Janpath, Patel Chowk, Central Secretariat, Rajiv Chowk, Seva Teerth, Mandi House, Lok Kalyan Marg, INA, Chawri Bazar, Ramakrishna Ashram Marg and New Delhi. Interchange facilities remain available at select stations. The agitation comes amid continuing opposition-led and civil society protests over the functioning of the Election Commission and the SIR exercise. The proposed Jantar Mantar demonstration has also been backed by other opposition leaders and civil society groups. (ANI)

Deputy Commissioner Samba Ayushi Sudan today addressed a one-day Capacity-Building Programme organised by the Rural Development Department (RDD) to acquaint field functionaries about the provisions and implementation framework of the Viksit Bharat-Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) [VB-GRAM-G] Act, 2025. 

<nh-chunk-delimit />The day-long programme was aimed at sensitising officials and field functionaries about the salient provisions, operational modalities and implementation mechanisms under the new rural employment framework, with a view to ensuring its effective and seamless implementation at the grassroots level.The programme assumes particular significance in view of the enhanced provisions under the Act, including the increase in the statutory employment guarantee from 100 to 125 days, provisions relating to employment allowance and delay compensation, as well as the provision for a pause period during the agricultural season.The capacity-building initiative was organised on a larger scale to cover the officials and field-level functionaries involved in the execution and implementation of the Act. Addressing the participating officials, the Deputy Commissioner appreciated the Rural Development Department for its concerted efforts and wholehearted contribution towards the implementation of various schemes and development programmes.She particularly appreciated the Block Development Officers, Panchayat Secretaries and field functionaries for undertaking the Digital Crop Survey and Agristat-related activities alongside their regular responsibilities. She directed the Panchayat Secretaries and Gram Rozgar Sahayaks (GRSs) to give focused attention to the effective planning and execution of works under the four thematic categories envisaged under the Act, with particular emphasis on water conservation, rural livelihood infrastructure and environmental conservation.She also underscored the importance of undertaking sustained Swachhata and cleanliness drives at the grassroots level. She urged the field functionaries to work in close coordination and leave no stone unturned in translating the objectives of the new rural employment framework into tangible outcomes for rural households.Earlier, ACD Rafiq Ahmad Jaral briefed the participants about the objectives, scope and proceedings of the programme. He informed that a series of capacity-building initiatives have already been conducted to familiarise the implementing machinery with the provisions of the new Act. The VB-GRAM-G framework has been operational across rural areas of Jammu and Kashmir from July 1, 2026, following notification of the corresponding UT scheme.

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal today said one person could change the destiny of the State, asserting he was a 'development man' who could bring real change in the lives of Punjabis.'Bai Sukhbir', whose vibe matched with the youth at the 'Vibe Punjab Di' programme held at the Khalsa College here, took all their questions in his stride and urged them to make the right choice in selecting who would lead the State in 2027. 

<nh-chunk-delimit />&quot;Punjab has lost a lot due to two repeated wrong choices with both Capt Amarinder and Charanjit Channi of the Congress and Bhagwant Mann of the Aam Aadmi Party failing you. Punjab needs a person dedicated to development, infrastructure building and modernization - all of which characterize my personality&quot;.He also jokingly told them that they had two other alternatives - Channi whose claim to fame was that he could milk goats and Bhagwant Mann who could repair a puncture in the dark! Asserting that SAD had brought in revolutionary change in its ten year stint in power from 2007 to 2017, Mr Sukhbir Badal said &quot;every district was connected to Chandigarh and Amritsar with four lane roads.New thermal plants came up. Institutes like AIIMS, IIT, IISER, NIPER and ISB were brought to Punjab. The States debt to GSDP ratio was reduced from 46 per cent to 32 per cent and VAT collections went up from Rs 5,000 crore per annum to Rs 20,000 crore per annum&quot;.Answering a student query, Mr Badal said all this happened because the erstwhile SAD government took good debt to build infrastructure projects. &quot;The present AAP government is taking bad debt to spend Rs 6,000 crore on advertisements alone&quot;. He also told students that he had a plan to revolutionize the agri sector by introducing new technologies like hydroponics and subsidizing them besides encouraging food processing.Taking the enthusiastic group of students through his life, the SAD president told Rashanpreet Kaur that his life was the same as theirs when he was in College. &quot;We also had the &apos;geri&apos; route and sometimes had to seek favours to fulfill the attendance criteria&quot;.He also disclosed that he had always been a first class student, adding &quot;I wish for the return of those years. My days as a student were the best years of my life. I wish I could return back to them&quot;.Mr Badal also told Rasdeep Kaur that he was a cool father and that his daughters were more afraid of his wife and Bathinda MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal than him.&quot;They are my friends. I never say anything to them&quot;. He also went down memory lane reminiscing how he missed out on crucial years with his father - S Parkash Singh Badal because the latter remained in jail for long periods during his growing up years.&quot;Badal Sahab had committed himself to the people. He did not even know which school I was studying in and once when he took a detour after being told I was in Lawrence School, Sanawar - he went up to the Principal and asked for me by my nickname - &apos;Lali&apos;&quot;. He went on to say how he had learnt a lot from his father who always encouraged him to make his line longer - so that he did not have to compete with anyone.Answering food blogger Navi Anand, Mr Badal said he was a pure vegetarian who delighted in eating pizzas and pastas. He also said he could not go without &apos;maa di daal&apos; and diet coke for whom he was an unofficial ambassador!

The movement will take its slogan &quot;Maawan -Dheeyan di Lalkaar, Band Karo Nasha da Vyapar&quot; to each and every home in the State.

Giving details of the same, the leaders said the decisions had been taken after a meeting of the party&apos;s &apos;halka incharge&apos; and observers under the chairmanship of Mr Sukhbir Singh Badal.The leaders said the door to door campaign on October 6 was being started to take feedback on the people as to what they wanted to be included in the party&apos;s election manifesto. &quot;Earlier the manifesto committee has held meetings with the party&apos;s scheduled caste and backward caste wings and will continue this exercise by meeting farmers, traders, youth and government employees. The focus is on collecting feedback to make an action plan for ushering in progress and prosperity in Punjab&quot;. He said the programme would be completed by October 25.Mr Bhundar and Dr Cheema said the bus yatra of the SAD president, starting from Talwandi Sabo on November 10, would be a mass contact programme in which Mr Badal will cover two to three assembly constituencies every day.Dr Cheema also announced a ten member committee of lawyers to monitor false, baseless and defamatory content being circulated against the party and its leaders in the media and on social media platforms. He said noted advocate Amardeep Singh Dharni would chair the committee in consultation with party&apos;s chief spokesperson Arshdeep Singh Kler. EOM Jangveer SinghSenior leader Balwinder Singh Bhundar condemned the meager Rs 25 hike in the MSP for wheat to Rs 2,610 and said the hike did not address the rising input costs of farmers and was the lowest absolute hike in seventeen years. Mr Bhundar appealed to the union government to reconsider its decision and revise it promptly. &quot;This is necessary to save the agriculture sector which is witnessing an unprecedented crisis&quot;, he added.

Reports allege BJP workers in Karnataka received pre-printed Form 7s and submitted voter-deletion requests, including forms citing voters as &quot;Absent&quot; 

<nh-chunk-delimit /><ul><li>Similar reports of bulk, pre-filled Form 7 filings have emerged from Odisha, Uttarakhand and West Bengal, prompting questions over the Election Commission's procedures</li><li>Karnataka Congress demands a criminal inquiry into bulk filings, while calls grow for the ECI to clarify allegations of political involvement in the process</li></ul>A reporter from the Kannada daily Vartha Bharathi released an audio recording of a conversation with a couple in the Madikeri Assembly constituency. Both identified themselves as BJP workers and confirmed that they had each submitted 10 forms seeking the deletion of voters' names. When asked whether the voters had actually stopped residing in the village, they replied in the negative. They said the forms were submitted because there were doubts that the voters had two voter IDs. However, the forms stated that the voters' names should be deleted from the electoral roll because they were &quot;Absent&quot;.The names, moreover, were pre-printed rather than handwritten. Asked where they had obtained the printed forms, they replied, &quot;This was given to us by our party, from the Somwarpet office.&quot; The entire conversation was translated into English and shared on X by AltNews co-founder and fact-checker Mohammad Zubair.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true" data-theme="light">

</blockquote> Similar reports have emerged from Odisha, Uttarakhand and West Bengal. Thousands of pre-filled and pre-printed forms seeking voter deletions have reportedly been submitted in several states, with only the names of the 'objectors' and their EPIC numbers left blank to be filled in by hand.The process was facilitated by the Election Commission which modified earlier rules that restricted 'objectors' to the same booth as the voters; the ECI also waived the restriction on the number of forms which each objector could file. The commission is yet to explain why unlimited number of forms were allowed to be filed by BJP's Booth Level Agents and many in the name of genuine voters who, however, were ignorant that their names were being misused.Karnataka home minister Priyank Kharge claimed in a post on X, &quot;In over 70 per cent booths of Karnataka, we have found BJP leaders have been collecting Form 7 without any identification. Pre-printed forms with names, EPIC nos. and booth details (of voters to be deleted) are being given to BJP leaders to delete names of voters.&quot;Rishita Khanna reporting for The Hindu also wrote about two men claiming to represent Belagavi City Corporation tried to persuade BLOs to sign pre-filled forms for deletion.

</blockquote> The ERO, when contacted, denied having spoken to the BLOs and said his name was misused without his knowledge and authorisation. The same report referred to deletion requests affecting Muslim voters in Balki constituency even after the deadline for objection had expired on 23 September. The Form-10 report shows 1,131 applications were received between 24 and 29 September, of which 1,123 were bulk filings.Karnataka Congress on 1 October called for scrapping the SIR in Karnataka and a criminal inquiry into bulk filings of Form 7. The paty demanded that FIRs be lodged against those who generated, filed or coordinated fraudulent Form 7s. &quot;Trace the individuals and political actors behind the filings. Restore every eligible voter wrongly targeted or deleted,&quot; the party said in a statement.While it took the chief minister D.K. Shivakumar, Priyank Kharge and other members of the cabinet to barge into the CEO's office for the CEO to reluctantly issue a statement that EROs should take action against illegal use of Form 7, there is no suggestion of an inquiry into the role of the BJP and its agents.In view of the mounting evidence, the least the Election Commission can do is to break its silence and clarify its position. If internal inquiries revealed no BJP links, it should say so and put doubts at rest.<a href="https://m.dailyhunt.in/news/india/english/national+herald+india-epaper-natlher/india+bloc+leaders+call+for+political+legal+and+ground+fight+over+ec+row-newsid-n728811479" >INDIA bloc leaders call for political, legal and ground fight over EC row</a>

New Delhi [India], October 2 (ANI): Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Friday targeted the Election Commission of India (ECI) over its order of appointing a committee to review ECINET to ensure compliance with relevant acts and rules, asserting that the commission's claim of ECINET development in strict accordance with the law and the Indian Constitution is a &quot;lie.&quot; 

<nh-chunk-delimit />In a post on X, the Congress leader alleged that the decisions of the ECI wouldn&apos;t have come under doubt at all in the first place if the intentions of CEC Gyanesh Kumar were honest. &quot;In its damage control but actually damage enhancing Press Note on September 26, 2026 the Election Commission of India had promised a committee to certify that the legally suspect ECINet &quot;complies with the provisions of the Acts and Rules&quot;. In reality, this should never have been in doubt at all in the first place if the intentions of the CEC Gyanesh Kumar were honest-which they were not. ECINet was launched on January 22, 2026 with much fanfare to &quot;enhance transparency, credibility and public trust&quot;. The ECI Press Note of that day assured the country that it &quot;has been developed in strict accordance with the law&quot; and in full compliance with the Constitution of India, the Representation of the People Acts, 1950 and 1951, and Registration of Electors Rules, 1960. All of this was a lie,&quot; said Jairam Ramesh. The Congress leader further alleged that the ECI violated the Representation of the People Act, 1950 and the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960 by restricting the access of Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) to the ECINet voter roll system and by overruling EROs in states such as Goa, West Bengal, etc. &quot;By restricting access of Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) to the ECINet voter roll system and by overruling EROs in states like Goa, West Bengal and others, the ECI controlled by the CEC has violated The Representation of the People Act, 1950 and the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960. Both these laws establish that the ERO has statutory authority over the electoral roll,&quot; said Ramesh. He further declared that the INDIA bloc will demand accountability for these violations of the law and the Constitution. &quot;After the revelations last week, the Maharashtra CEO wrote to the ECI on September 24, 2026 asking for a correction of this illegal state of affairs. Starting today, the INDIA janbandhan, citizens and many civil society organisations will hit the streets across the country demanding accountability for these violations of the law and the Constitution,&quot; added Ramesh. Ramesh&apos;s remarks came after the Election Commission of India (ECI), in its September 26 meeting, decided that field officers have role-based access to the ECINET system as per their statutory powers.ECI also decided that a committee, headed by a Senior Deputy Election Commissioner (DEC), will review the ECINET to double-check that it complies with the provisions of the Acts and Rules and submit a report to the Commission.&quot;Field officers have role-based access to the ECINET system as per their statutory powers. A Committee headed by Sr. Deputy Election Commissioner (DEC) and including an independent expert from IIT/IIIT will review the ECINET to double-check that it complies with the provisions of the Acts and Rules and submit report to the Commission,&quot; said ECI. During its meeting, the ECI also noted that it has made various upgrades to the portal based on inputs from State Chief Electoral Officers (CEOs) over the past few months. It further mentioned that all new initiatives regarding IT modules and portals will be discussed in the Committee of Officers (COO) before receiving approval from the Commission.&quot;Various upgradations of the portal have already been made based on the inputs from State CEOs in the past few months. In case, any further flexibility is required by the field officers, that will be made operational. Henceforth, all the new initiatives about IT modules and portals will be discussed in the Committee of Officers (COO) before approval by the Commission,&quot; said ECI. Additionally, ECI also approved the extension of the period for filing claims and objections over the removal of names from electoral rolls under the SIR in Maharashtra and Delhi. &quot;In view of the request received from CEO Delhi, the period for filing claims and objections has been extended by the Commission till 30th October, 2026. The period of disposal of notices and claims &amp; objections has been extended till 30th November 2026. Also, as per the request received from CEO Maharashtra, the period for filing claims and objections in Maharashtra has been extended by the Commission till 12th October, 2026. The period of disposal of notices and claims &amp; objections in Maharashtra has been extended till 10th November 2026,&quot; added ECI. (ANI)

New Delhi [India], October 2 (ANI): Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MP Manoj Jha on Friday backed the opposition parties' protest at Jantar Mantar over the role of the Election Commission in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), saying such a democratic protest was taking place on Mahatma Gandhi's birth anniversary.

<nh-chunk-delimit />Jha said the protest was not only a programme of opposition parties but also represented citizens who, according to him, had concerns about the functioning of democratic institutions.&quot;I understand that the opposition parties have their own separate programme. This is a programme of the citizens. Every citizen who is a stakeholder in this republic feels that a single person, a puppet whose strings are pulled elsewhere, is making the decisions,&quot; Jha said.He also questioned the restrictions imposed in Delhi during the protest and referred to the closure of metro services.&quot;The impact is such that you can see the metro has been shut down and all this is happening on what day? Today is Gandhi Jayanti. Gandhi Jayanti,&quot; he said.Addressing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Jha said the government had moved away from Gandhi&apos;s ideals and that the country would have to return to them.&quot;On Gandhi&apos;s day, Honourable PM, Honourable HM, thank you very much. You have taken this country very far away from Gandhi, and this country will have to go back there. That is why this kind of democratic protest is a message for you,&quot; Jha said.On criticism of the Election Commission over Form 8 and developments related to SIR, Jha alleged that irregularities had been systematically committed and questioned why no explanation had been given.&quot;Today, if you look at the headline of the same newspaper, it came yesterday with the title &apos;Course Correction&apos;, saying things are happening. Where the SIR has ended, people are still filing; what does this indicate?&quot; he said.&quot;A crime was being systematically committed. An illegality was committed, and no one even tries to find a reason for it,&quot; Jha alleged.He further criticised the Election Commission over its decisions and alleged that the institution&apos;s actions had failed to withstand scrutiny.Referring to the Election Commission&apos;s decision to conduct a special drive in 20 states, Jha said the concerns raised earlier had been denied and alleged that the latest developments amounted to an admission of those concerns.&quot;The things people were pointing out back then, you were denying them out of your ego, or under pressure from someone, or a combination of both. Today I say it again, a basic understanding of criminal law shows that this is an act of confession,&quot; Jha said.On Rahul Gandhi&apos;s allegation that the Prime Minister, Home Minister and Election Commissioner had jointly taken actions that would damage democracy, Jha said similar concerns had been raised by RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav earlier.&quot;Tejashwi ji has said this many times before. What was done with the postal ballot with us in 2020? So why did you give them immunity?&quot; he said. &quot;No one in a high position has immunity, but you gave it to them. Because you wanted to cover up the illegality, and that is why I am saying this thread goes right to the top,&quot; Jha alleged. (ANI)

Kolkata: In a dramatic political proposition that could reshape opposition politics in West Bengal, senior Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Thursday urged Mamata Banerjee to dissolve the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and return to the Congress fold nearly three decades after breaking away from the party.

<nh-chunk-delimit />Addressing reporters in Murshidabad, the former West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee chief said Banerjee should merge her party with the Congress and bring along her remaining MPs and MLAs. In a striking departure from years of political rivalry, Chowdhury said state Congress leaders would even be willing to work under her leadership within the party.The proposal comes amid a period of political turbulence following the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections, which saw the BJP form its first government in the state.Chowdhury’s remarks coincided with Banerjee’s sharp attack on Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the Election Commission. Alleging irregularities in the electoral process, including EVM manipulation and issues surrounding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, the TMC chief demanded accountability and claimed voters had been deprived of their rights.The Election Commission, however, has maintained that all decisions were taken unanimously by its three-member panel.

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], October 2 (ANI): Congress leader Hanumant Rao questioned Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday ahead of his tour of Telangana on 4th October, demanding that OBC reservation and a caste-wise census be addressed before any political visit to the state.

<nh-chunk-delimit />He said OBCs have a significant population and referred to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi&apos;s demand for an OBC column in the census.&quot;We have the highest population. Born in the upper class, so Rahul Gandhi is asking for OBC reservation, saying to keep the OBC column. Now the Prime Minister of India calls himself Narendra Modi OBC, but does nothing for OBCs,&quot; he said.He alleged that the Prime Minister was influenced by the RSS, making a reference to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.&quot;He is in their clutches; the remote control is in Mohan Bhagwat&apos;s hands. When Mohan sits, he sits; when he says get up, he gets up. Now what can you do by coming to Khanapur, brother? First, do our work,&quot; he said.Rao further alleged that the government was affecting the interests of young people and OBCs and said Rahul Gandhi was raising the issue of OBC representation.&quot;The government is playing with the lives of youth; just like before they played with the students&apos; lives, now they are playing with the OBCs&apos; lives,&quot; he said.He said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was raising the OBC issue on behalf of the community, and that this demand would soon reach the national capital. &quot;Just like Rahul Gandhi is fighting for the students, saying let our OBC voice also be heard, but now the OBC voice will reach all the way to Delhi,&quot; he said.Rao added that senior party leaders, including Chairman of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) OBC Department Anil Jain Yadav, SC/ST in-charge Koppula Raju, state MLAs and President of the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) Mahesh Kumar Goud, would be part of the effort. &quot;We will call Rahul Gandhi on the 4th, our Anil Jain Yadav, who is the OBC chairman and along with him the one in charge of SC ST, Koppula Raju; we are also calling them. All our MLAs will come, and our PCC President Mahesh Kumar. They will come too and we will start the fight for OBC voices from here only,&quot; Rao said. &quot;They will come too. It will start right from here. The caste-wise census started right from here, and the OBC voice will start right from here,&quot; he said. (ANI)

The Cockroach Janta Party is back in the spotlight after its earlier movement at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. The prolonged youth-led agitation ended after Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned, which had been one of the protesters' main demands.

<nh-chunk-delimit />Now, the <a href="https://m.dailyhunt.in/news/india/english/mirchi+9-epaper-mirchi/time+up+can+cockroaches+win+again-newsid-n728492360" >Cockroach Janta Party</a> has turned its attention towards Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke has announced a nationwide agitation demanding Kumar&apos;s resignation over allegations concerning electoral rolls and the functioning of the Election Commission. The latest campaign is set to begin with a Jail Bharo Andolan at Shivaji Park in Mumbai on October 2. The CJP has also announced plans to expand its agitation to other cities across the country. However, Mumbai Police said permission could not be granted for the proposed gathering at Shivaji Park due to restrictions linked to the area&apos;s silence zone status. Organisers were advised to consider an alternative venue and seek the required permission. Meanwhile, a separate protest against Gyanesh Kumar was planned at Jantar Mantar in Delhi on Gandhi Jayanti. Delhi Police denied permission for the gathering and increased security across parts of New Delhi ahead of the proposed demonstration. Authorities also introduced traffic restrictions and security measures around Jantar Mantar. Several student, activist and political groups have called for demonstrations demanding Gyanesh Kumar&apos;s resignation over concerns related to electoral rolls and the functioning of the Election Commission. The latest developments have once again brought the Cockroach Janta Party into national attention. After its earlier agitation over education and examination issues, the movement is now seeking to build momentum around concerns related to India&apos;s electoral system.

Pathanamthitta (Keralam) [India], October 2 (ANI): Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) Convenor Adoor Prakash on Friday said he would convey his dissatisfaction over Keralam government decisions to the All India Congress Committee (AICC), amid his reported differences with Chief Minister and UDF front chairman VD Satheesan.

<nh-chunk-delimit />Speaking to ANI in Pathanamthitta, Prakash said he would submit his opinion to the AICC within two to three days, while making it clear that he was not asking anyone else to join him.&quot;I have already explained the situation. I will submit my opinion to the AICC within 2-3 days. I am not asking anyone to join me; I will submit my own opinion to the AICC,&quot; Prakash said.Prakash had earlier expressed dissatisfaction over decisions being taken by the Keralam government without consultation with the UDF, saying he had been learning about various appointments through the media.&quot;There has not been a UDF meeting in Keralam recently. The Chief Minister should take the initiative to convene the meeting; he is the front chairman. There are many things to discuss and decide. In the appointments to various boards, those who should inform me, as the UDF convenor, have not informed me,&quot; he had said.He had also said that several government decisions were being taken without discussion within the front and that he would convey his concerns to the AICC.&quot;The government is taking decisions on many matters without discussion. I will inform the AICC about my dissatisfaction in this regard. I am learning about the appointments through the media,&quot; Prakash said.Furthermore, Prakash on Friday also spoke about the alleged attack on Kerala Sports Minister and Youth Congress state president OJ Janeesh in Kannur, saying the incident occurred when a demonstration was being held against the Election Commission.&quot;Keralam Minister OJ Janeesh was attacked. We were conducting a demonstration against the Election Commission,&quot; Prakash said.The Keralam government on Thursday condemned the alleged attack on Janeesh in Kannur and alleged that DYFI-CPI(M) workers carried out the attack with the knowledge of CPI(M) leadership.According to a statement issued by the Keralam Chief Minister&apos;s Office, the government termed the alleged attack &quot;unacceptable&quot; and said that those who allegedly attacked the minister, as well as CPI(M) and DYFI leaders accused of conspiring to carry out the attack, would be brought before the law.The government also alleged that Janeesh&apos;s vehicle had been targeted in attacks on several occasions and said incidents in Payyannur and Taliparamba were a continuation of the attack carried out against former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy.The statement further alleged that the CPI(M) was attempting to create unrest in the state to overcome a crisis following its performance in the elections.&quot;The CPI(M) continues to function like a criminal mafia,&quot; the government alleged.The government also questioned whether the alleged opposition to Janeesh was linked to his leading a Youth Congress protest against the Election Commission and the BJP government, alleging that the Election Commission had acted unconstitutionally. It said that those responsible for the alleged attack, as well as those behind the alleged conspiracy, would be brought to justice. (ANI)
