Sanjay Raut accuses Amit Shah and CEC of election manipulation

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut has accused Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and Home Minister Amit Shah of weakening democracy through alleged election manipulation. During a press conference, Raut claimed that the three-member Election Commission is facing internal dissent, alleging that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi have raised 14 objections over the last 10 months regarding SIR and Form 6 changes, which were reportedly ignored by the Chief Election Commissioner.

Raut further alleged that approximately 130 million people have been removed from voter lists nationwide through a software process, describing the situation not merely as vote theft but as ‘voter robbery’. He called for the immediate suspension of Gyanesh Kumar and the dismissal of Amit Shah from the cabinet. Raut stated he would appeal to the President if the Prime Minister fails to take action and has also urged the Supreme Court to take cognizance of the matter.
