Tharoor demands CEC Gyanesh Kumar's resignation over SIR row

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor demanded Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation, alleging the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls deprived many Indians of voting rights. He called the outcome 'disastrous,' noting SIR was conducted four times previously without such controversy. Tharoor said Congress sought the CJI's attention and called for corrections to the electoral process.
