Gyanesh Kumar faces political controversy

India's Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar, faces significant political and internal controversy over a major electoral roll revision called the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), which has removed over 130 million names from voter lists. Although the Election Commission maintains that the process was transparent and necessary, opposition parties and some fellow commissioners have raised concerns about decision-making without full consensus and potential disenfranchisement of voters.
