'Provide relevant documents': Karnataka CEO issues notice to Rahul Gandhi over 'Shakun Rani voted twice claim': <https://www.livemint.com/news/india/provide-relevant-documents-karnataka-ceo-issues-notice-to-rahul-gandhi-over-shakun-rani-voted-twice-claim-11754826015204.html>

[The Dy. Chief Minister of Karnataka, btw, had already filed a formal complaint with the Karnataka ECI on August 5:

<https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/deputy-cm-shivakumar-files-formal-complaint-with-election-commission/articleshow/123192974.cms>.]

The central issues that Rahul Gandhi's presentation has flagged -- via a detailed scan of irregularities in the voters' list of a single assembly constituency in Bengaluru that doesn't still cover the issue of voter deletion -- are as under:

1. Duplicate Voters (11,965)

2. Fake and Invalid Addresses (40,009)

3. Bulk Voters in a Single Address (10,452)

4. Invalid Photos (4,132)

5. Misuse of From 6 -- Inclusion of Elderly People as First Time Voters (33,692)

Gandhi has also, as a corollary, reiterated inter alia the following two top demands:

1. Upload all the voters' lists on the ECI website in digitalised format so that these can be far more easily analysed.

2. Scrap the recent instruction to destroy the CCTV footages of the polling booths.

So, these are the broad issues. Not one Singh or one Rani.

And look up: <https://youtu.be/WY_1IN5v_Cw>.

This underscores the gross hypocrisy underlying ECI's nitpicking.

For an insight into the larger game that the ECI is playing: <https://x.com/dhruv_rathee/status/1954594908167147523>. (With special reference to the Bihar draft roll.)

(Additionally, for the background: 'Rahul Gandhi's Explosive Exposure of How Voters' Lists in India Are Being Surreptitiously Mangled by the EC-BJP Duo: A Brief Scan' at https://share.google/t1IHg9K6rpmOFUXHT>.)

It's abundantly clear that the ECI is doing the very opposite of sharing info with the public.

Just scurrying to hide. (The case of the Bihar draft roll is just a graphic exemplar. It's noteworthy that the case is right before the Supreme Court is no deterrent.)

Why???

[Some further updates:

I. Yesterday, the INDIA bloc MPs carried out an aborted protest march against the arbitrary and partisan ways of the ECI: https://youtu.be/6fotoD01Yms>.

II. In the meanwhile, the ECI tells the Supreme Court, in a closely related case, that it will neither share the 65 lakh deleted names via SIR nor the reasons for deletion: <https://www.perplexity.ai/search/eci-tells-the-supreme-court-th-wLmzGnXtRheFxHt2jojOsQ>.
