    Election Commission of India in Crisis Over SIR Process

    Two Election Commissioners have publicly objected to discrepancies in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process, raising concerns about the legality of decisions made without their approval. Former Chief Election Commissioner SY Quraishi called for a comprehensive list of decisions taken over the past year and a half to be made public, while Arvind Kejriwal, the national convenor of AAP, stated that all orders issued without the approval of the Election Commission are illegal. Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the need for a thorough investigation. BJP MP Sambit Patra defended the SIR process, citing a Supreme Court verdict upholding its legality. KT Rama Rao, working president of BRS, called for a Supreme Court-monitored probe into the ECI's functioning. Mamata Banerjee demanded the arrest of CEC Gyanesh Kumar and fresh assembly polls. Manish Tewari and Sunil Sharma also commented on the issue.

The Left party's resurgence is notable, having been 'clinically dead' just two years ago. Business leaders have expressed concerns about the implications of a left-wing government for the city's economy.
