Senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot termed the actions of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar illegal and announced that the opposition has formally approached the judiciary to seek intervention. This followed a petition filed in the Supreme Court by 11 opposition leaders challenging the Election Commission's decisions regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
Opposition leaders have raised serious questions and accused CEC Gyanesh Kumar of acting arbitrarily and illegally after it was revealed that two other election commissioners, Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, objected on record multiple times over decisions made without their knowledge or majority recommendation regarding the SIR process.
