The Indian Express report, released early Tuesday, revealed that more than a dozen judges from West Bengal’s Electoral Registration Tribunals flagged serious technical glitches in the Election Commission’s digital portal, which halted notice issuance, virtual hearings, and the restoration of voters whose names were deleted during the state’s Special Intensive Revision. According to the report, the SIR process saw 27 lakh names removed from the state roll, prompting 22 lakh appeals for restoration—yet the portal’s deficiencies meant many petitions stalled. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh took to X, accusing Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the Modi‑Shah administration of orchestrating “mass manipulation” to secure West Bengal assembly seats, and called for Kumar’s resignation. The opposition will march at 11 a.m. on Tuesday from the National Assembly to the EC headquarters, demanding the CEC step down, while the Supreme Court has already issued notices to the Centre and the EC over allegations that SIR decisions were taken unilaterally without the concurrence of Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi. Judge R. K. Sharma, who filed one of the 22 lakh appeals, said the portal glitches left his family uncertain about their polling rights, illustrating how technical failures ripple into personal uncertainty.
