Droupadi Murmu · Ellipses

DMK chief M.K. Stalin has asked President Droupadi Murmu to refer a complaint against CEC Gyanesh Kumar to Parliament. It concerns 97.37 lakh voters removed from Tamil Nadu's rolls in the 2025 SIR.

He pointed to two fellow commissioners who said they were kept out of certain decisions. He claimed the deletions in Tamil Nadu and elsewhere skewed results in several seats.

He wants the President to seek the PM's input, bar Kumar from using the Commission's powers meanwhile, and restore pre-SIR rolls for Tamil Nadu. He also wants the SIR cancelled in all states.

BJP Keralam chief Rajeev Chandrasekhar and MPs PT Usha and C Sadanandan Master have gone to see President Droupadi Murmu over the Keralam Public Service Commission.

They want her to follow the Governor's suggestion and start Article 317 proceedings, citing a Crime Branch finding that 10 questions worth 58 marks went unmarked for all 228 candidates in a July 2023 Planning Board exam.

The MPs say the members under scrutiny refused to appear before investigators, citing constitutional protection, and they want an independent probe.
