A social media claim that the Election Commission of India (ECI) removed its September 26 press note after the Supreme Court questioned changes linked to Form 6 has been rejected by the Press Information Bureau’s Fact Check unit. The PIB said the press note remains available on the ECI website and described the claim as false.
The claim was made by Ashutosh Ranka of the Cockroach Janta Party on X after Chief Justice of India Surya Kant said on October 5 that the Supreme Court had not approved any modification to Form 6. Ranka argued that the court’s observation contradicted the ECI’s September 26 statement and claimed that the press note had subsequently been taken down.
