00:00Give me a moment. India Today has accessed details of the Congress Party petition in Supreme Court.
00:05Breaking news coming in. India Today gets you the latest on the Congress Party petition in the Supreme Court.
00:13The petition challenges the Election Commission's functioning.
00:18The legality of key decisions taken during the special intensive revision.
00:23It's alleged arbitrary voter deletion and the integrity of the electoral database.
00:31The most significant aspect is that the petition does not seek to overturn the Supreme Court's earlier judgment upholding the
00:41special intensive revision of the electoral rolls.
00:44Instead, it questions whether the Election Commission implemented the SIR lawfully and whether the Chief Election Commissioner exercised powers without
00:58approval of the other two Election Commissioners.
01:02Let me now get you some of the details that India Today has been able to get.
01:07The CC stands accused of unilaterally exercising the Election Commission's powers.
01:16Was a nationwide SIR approved by the full Election Commission, which means the Chief Election Commissioner, who's only the first
01:26amongst equals, and the other two Election Commissioners.
01:30The Supreme Court's TN session judgment invoked against unilaterally decision-making in this petition of the party.
01:40Another critical point raised is Form 6.
01:44This petition alleges that Form 6 was modified illegally.
01:52It also demands independent audit, not just of ECINET, but also of ERO-NET.
02:01Of course, this is just the first that we've been able to access.
02:05There's much more on this story that's coming.
02:08The Congress has taken this fight from Sansat to Sadak and the Supreme Court.
02:13You've heard the BJP hitting back, saying that these allegations are all Hawa, Hawaii.
02:17Where is the proof of vote, Chori?
02:19Now, does this petition in the Supreme Court give us an inkling of what lies ahead and what the Congress
02:27is seeking?
