Dear Hafta Team, while discussing the issue of ‘vote chori’, Manisha asked whether certain manipulations can be linked to a ‘rigged democracy’. Based on reports from The Scroll, Newslaundry, The News Minute, The Reporter’s Collective, statements of the ECI in the Supreme Court, and Rahul Gandhi’s own press briefings, it is clear to me that changes to the voter list are designed to strike at the heart of democracy – this is not just an opinion from a politician. Tampering with the electoral rolls, regardless of the scale or who benefits, is illegal. I think we need to talk about this in greater detail. Keep up the good work.
