00:08In today's explainer we are going to talk about a very important issue.
00:30We discuss the allegations against Gyanesh Kumar, his appointment and past record, and the alleged legal support he is receiving.
00:37We will discuss the shield and finally what options the opposition has now.
01:00There was massive manipulation of data through Sofver, completely bypassing the Electoral Registration Officers.
01:05Moreover, the orders of judicial magistrates in Bengal were also ignored.
01:09This is no small matter, is it?
01:22Now when such big claims come to light, it is obvious that there will be an uproar.
01:28In this connection, the source also claims that heavy police barricading has been done at Jantar Mantar.
02:03After this, Gyanesh Kumar was appointed in great haste on 15th March.
02:28His past roles make him a very loyal officer of the current government.
02:32How? Look, when Article 370 was removed, they hated the Jammu and Kashmir division of the Home Ministry.
02:38Under his leadership, the Ram Janmabhoomi Trust was formed. Moreover, when the country was under the COVID-19 lockdown,
02:43These also played a key role, which, according to sources, were actually used to suppress the CAA protests.
02:48Was done.
02:49Now let us come to the third and a very important part, the legal and family shield.
02:55This number three visible on the screen says a lot.
03:25According to sources, India Blog is preparing a third motion.
04:00The source, citing this entire legal ping pong, argues that the entire system is under their control.
04:06He is busy saving the family.
04:12It has been alleged that the Supreme Court bench which granted relief so quickly had a direct conflict.
04:18Of interest was there.
04:19That is because the son of a judge on the bench is a standing counsel of the Election Commission of India.
04:49Options available to the opposition
04:51The source primarily compares two different strategies.
04:55The first option is to boycott the elections altogether.
04:58That means assuming that the entire system is fixed and forcing elections is a problem.
05:02The other option is to form a United Opposition, which means that
05:06All parties should forget their differences and egos and reach a common minimum
05:11Let's get together under the program. But it's important to note that
05:15The source also gives a very strong warning regarding the strategy of boycotting the elections.
05:20For this, the recent political crisis in Bangladesh has been cited as an example.
05:23The source explains that the result of the nepotism of the Chunas is often an even stronger dictatorship or a
05:29It may appear in the form of a violent planet.
05:31Apart from this, the source talks about another possible scenario and that is an internal push.
05:37The source argues that if public anger increases significantly at the grassroots level, then a large voter turnout will be
05:42Fear of backlash may force the ruling party and its allied organizations to make changes from within.
05:48So after all these claims and analysis, the biggest and thought-provoking question that comes before us is
05:53The question is whether the Chief Election Commissioner can really be removed from his post.
05:59Or perhaps they have become so essential to the current power structure that it is almost impossible to remove them.
06:05This horrific picture presented by the source certainly raises many serious questions about the state of our electoral system.
