The famous phrase “I eat politicians for breakfast”, associated with former Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) TN Seshan, has resurfaced amid the latest controversy surrounding the Election Commission of India (ECI) and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise.
The ECI is facing renewed political scrutiny after a report in The Indian Express highlighted differences within the poll panel over SIR-related decisions. According to the report, Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi had raised objections at least 14 times over a 10-month period on decisions linked to the exercise, including issues concerning voter deletions and electoral roll data.
