‘More questions than answers': MK Stalin criticizes CEC press meet; TN CM raises 7 questions on voter rolls and transparency
TN CM MK Stalin NEW DELHI: Tamil Nadu chief minister and DMK president MK Stalin on Monday joined the chorus against the Election Commission of India (ECI) over concerns of voter deletions and irregularities in electoral roll preparation. He said the press conference held by Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar on Sunday 'raised more questions than it answered' regarding issues highlighted by the opposition INDIA bloc. Posting on X, Stalin wrote, 'The interview by the #CEC is raising more questions than providing answers to the issues highlighted by the #INDIA bloc.' He highlighted seven key concerns: Voter deletions: "How can there be so many deletions of eligible voters when house-to-house enumeration was undertaken?" Low new voter enrolment: "The enrolment of new voters is abnormally low. Were young voters turning 18 on the qualifying date properly enumerated? Has any database been compiled to track this?" Procedural issues: "Procedures under the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960—including enquiry and two appeals—may exclude many voters in the forthcoming Bihar elections . Will the ECI address this?" SIR challenges: "Will the ECI consider these practical difficulties while conducting Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in other states?" Deletion of deceased voters: "A request submitted on 17 July 2025 by the DMK to delete the names of deceased voters under the 1 May 2025 notification has not yet been implemented." Aadhaar as proof: "Why isn't Aadhaar accepted as one of the documents to validate a voter's claim?" Transparency and voter-friendliness: "If fair elections are truly the aim of the ECI, why can't it be more transparent and voter-friendly?"
