In Telangana, do we still have time to submit or respond to notice? When I called BLO again, they are saying it's done. And we should visit ward office for any details.

Tata is being criminally destroyed, and no business leader dares say a word. How long will you stay silent? Until they own you? Indian business is not Modi and Shah's plaything. You lack courage. We don't. We will ensure justice for these crimes.

Thank you sir. I wrote the article you're referencing. Can you explain a) why reasons for deletions aren't displayed in public, b) if this is indeed a problem with the ERO net app and c) if you've flagged these concerns to officials above you in the ECI? I await your response.
Replying to @CEOAndhra
electors’ ineligibility and informing the appeal provision with District Collector, which were communicated by the BLOs to each individual. Such baseless media insinuations of procedural violations are misleading the public/electors and are hereby condemned.

"Names of 13 crore people have been removed from electoral rolls. The matter has been pending in the Supreme Court for many months and not one meaningful order has been passed. What has happened as a result? Young students and activists, civil society people have taken to the streets and having a peaceful march. What has happened to them? They have been beaten up, pushed into police vans and it is happening right under the nose of the Supreme Court which under the Constitution has been entrusted the power to safeguard such rights of ordinary citizens": Justice Rekha Sharma

At least now do the right thing @ECISVEEP
Very significant hearing in the Supreme Court today in our Delhi SIR matter. - The Court questioned why deleted voters (ASDD List) are being asked to fill Form 6 and make a false declaration that they are new voters, even though they were on the 2026 electoral roll. Court termed this a structural incongruity, which has to be addressed. Instead of filling Form 6, such people should be allowed to fill enumeration form or Form 8 for those who shifted. - ⁠Details of 47 lakh people on the ASDD list must be easily accessible, in simple Hindi and in the local area at the booth or block level. ECI must reach out to such people as many of them would be labourers, hawkers, daily wagers etc. - ⁠Deadline should be extended for filling of enumeration form or Form 8 as there are no elections scheduled to be held in Delhi. - The bench clearly stated that they HAVE NOT ADJUDICATED upon the legality of Logical Discrepancy category. Said that it was not adjudicated upon in the Bihar SIR case and clarified that they had only allowed it as an interim measure for West Bengal. Matter listed for hearing after 2 weeks.

Dear Mrs. Sitarama, 1.Which "legal and commercial matter" required Tata Trusts and Tata Sons to be hosted at Amit Shah's residence? 2.When is crony number 1 going to appear in the game and which pieces of Tata is he going to get? Finally, all India's businesses except 3-4 of your cronies, already hate all of you and don't need any incitement.
Being the LoP @RahulGandhi, I suggest you refrain from politicising every issue. Also, casually labelling commercial and legal matters as criminal is unacceptable. You have repeatedly decried the successes of Indian industry & our entrepreneurs. Now, are you trying to incite our business leaders to join you in spreading distrust & toxicity? For decades, your party had smothered the spirit of the Indian entrepreneurs under the stifling ‘Licence-Quota Raj’ & inflicted poverty on crores of Indians. On the other hand, our government led by PM @narendramodi values the Indian industry as job creators & drivers of economic growth. Our policies have been tailored to enable enterprise, support industry and encourage investment. Political parties, leaders, governments and institutions share an equal responsibility to support our industry, strengthen our farmers and secure the future of our youth. Therefore, it is essential to engage constructively rather than casting baseless aspersions to suit your narrow political motives. The Constitution of India ensures justice to all its citizens & our Honourable Courts are entrusted with upholding it. History is witness to the shoddy manner in which you, your party and the PMs belonging to your party have demeaned the judiciary. So Rahul ji, refrain from seeing ghosts everywhere.

Lol my name has been deleted 😭😭 No notice was served, No BLO visited my home. This process at least in Telangana was a real sham.
In the state of Telangana, the procedure and the guidelines of SIR was duly followed and enumeration forms (EFs)were distributed to all electors and filled in EFs were taken back and draft rolls were prepared after excluding the names from whom EFs were not received. The non-returned EFs consisted of persons who have died, permanently shifted, absent, duplicates. Out of total 3,38,26,448 Electors, in state of Telangana, 2,64,87,213 Electors have been included in the draft Roll. 73,39,235 Electors have been moved to ASDD Category, out of which, 57,46,803 Electors are Absent/Shifted, 9,22,229 Electors are in Dead category and 6,70,203 Electors are Duplicate Votes.The same were moved to ASDD Category. This was done only after House-to-House visit and due enquiry by BLOs and not done unilaterally. Also opportunity has been given to left out Electors during the period of Claims and Objections for filing their claims if any. Another opportunity by way of Special Camps on 15th and 16th, October, 2026 was taken up and ensured that *Every Eligible Elector is added and no ineligible elector remain in the Electoral Roll*. The whole process and procedures were duly followed. #ECI #CEOTelangana @ECISVEEP @SpokespersonECI

After Justice Lokur, and Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia, another former Supreme Court judge- Justice Deepak Gupta- highlights the injustice being done to Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam. Everybody will realise one day the kind of injustice these two scholars went through.

Can anyone fill any form in India without filling up the declaration attached to it? The @ECISVEEP is lying to the Supreme Court of India about not tampering with form 6.

Instagram removes the reel posted on LiveLaw's official page about the ECI's affidavit in the #SupremeCourt. The reel, which was only an explanation of the ECI's version, was removed by Instagram saying, "We received a legal request to restrict this content". There is no explanation how the reel (instagram.com/reel/De_dnDnOW…) violated any law. @instagram @Meta The same video is available on YouTube - youtube.com/watch?v=OuEYr-bY…

The Election Commission has filed its reply in the Supreme Court to the petition on how the three-member Commission functions. 27 pages, approved by all three members. Its argument: every decision was unanimous, and a Commissioner’s note is a “suggestion,” not a decision. Here’s what it addresses, and what it doesn’t. 🧵 (1/10)

Amazing achievement. In 2024, Serbian students issued this letter to "Students Around the world" “The world is on the brink of collapse, representative democracy is failing and our future is at risk...There are countless reasons for a blockade, and you know best what yours is"
Sırbistan'da öğrenciler doğrudan demokrasi yöntemini seçim siyasetine taşıdılar. Liderlere dayalı, yukarıdan aşağıya bir örgütlenme yerine, herkesin söz alabildiği öğrenci genel kurulları (plenum) oluşturdular. Kararlar tartışılarak, mümkün olduğunca uzlaşmayla alındı. Bu yöntemi üniversitelerin dışına da taşıdılar. Mahallelerde, kentlerde ve köylerde yurttaş meclisleri (zborovi) kuruldu. İnsanlar kendi sorunlarını tartışmak, çözüm önermek ve birlikte karar almak için toplandı. 250 kişilik milletvekili aday listesini de şöyle oluşturdular: 1- Önce 250 adaylık kontenjanı, öğrenci sayılarına göre altı üniversite kenti arasında paylaştırdılar. Belgrad'ın listeye hâkim olmaması için diğer kentlerin de üst sıralarda temsil edilmesini sağladılar. Ardından her kentin kontenjanını fakülteler arasında dağıttılar. 2- Ülke genelinde 80'den fazla fakültede öğrenci genel kurulları toplandı. Öğrenciler kendileri aday olmadı ama her biri aday önerebildi ve neden o kişiyi önerdiğini açıkladı. İsimler tartışıldı, önce uzlaşma arandı, gerektiğinde oylama yapıldı. 3- Mevcut siyasi kadrolara kapıyı kapattılar. İktidar partilerinin mevcut ve eski üyelerini, iktidar adına görev yapmış siyasetçileri ve bürokratları, muhalefet partilerinin üst düzey yöneticilerini aday göstermediler. Böylece hem iktidardan hem de yerleşik muhalefetten bağımsız bir liste oluşturdular. 4- Fakülteler birbirlerinin adaylarını da denetledi. Önerilen bütün isimler ortak bir listede toplandı ve tüm fakültelerin incelemesine açıldı. İtirazlar öğrenci kurullarında tartışıldı. Adayın elenmesi için kurulların yarısından fazlasının veto etmesi gerekiyordu. Tek bir fakültenin itirazı yeterli değildi. 5- Elenen veya çekilen adayların yerine yedekler getirildi. Böylece profesörlerin, doktorların, bilim insanlarının, işçilerin, sanatçıların ve aktivistlerin yer aldığı 250 kişilik liste ortaya çıktı.

To every trader in Delhi: We love you and hear you. The Govt shut the metro, sealed our roads and locked down our capital. With a stolen vote nothing is safe - your shop, your savings, your children’s future. Tell Modi to sack accused no. 4, Gyanesh Kumar and the protests will stop in 30 seconds. दिल्ली के हर व्यापारी से: हम आपसे प्यार करते हैं, आपकी बात सुन रहे हैं। मेट्रो सरकार ने बंद की, सड़कें सरकार ने सील की, राजधानी पर ताला सरकार ने लगाया। जब वोट ही चोरी हो जाए, तो कुछ भी सुरक्षित नहीं - न आपकी दुकान, न आपकी बचत, न आपके बच्चों का भविष्य। मोदी जी से कहिए - आरोपी नंबर 4, ज्ञानेश कुमार को हटाएं, 30 सेकंड में आंदोलन रुक जाएगा।

A leaderless students' movement has just defeated Serbia's long-standing strongman, Aleksandar Vucic. Vucic controlled most legacy media outlets, which spent the past two years vilifiying the students by calling them foreign agents plotting a coup. It all came to nought.
