# Rahul Gandhi asks who at EC ordered TCS to change Form 6 2026-10-01T06:38:24+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 4 independent outlets Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday, 1 October, said the online Form 6 for voter registration was changed illegally and asked who at the Election Commission ordered Tata Consultancy Services to make the change, who at TCS signed off on it, and whether TCS was pressured. Gandhi posted the questions on X, citing that the EC's own commissioners had recorded the change as illegal. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh claimed the Form 6 changes were introduced by the Chief Election Commissioner unconstitutionally in mid-July 2026 to remove Gen Z voters, orchestrated by the PM-HM duo, The Hindu and The Federal report. The opposition INDIA bloc, after a meeting of 19 parties, decided that all opposition MPs will march to the Election Commission on 6 October and leaders will meet the President. The bloc also demanded Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation. The row follows a report by The Indian Express that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi objected on record at least 14 times over the past 10 months to decisions on the Special Intensive Revision that they said were issued without their knowledge. The EC has asserted that differing views are normal and all orders carry full legal sanction. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All four outlets report Rahul Gandhi's questions to the Election Commission and TCS about the Form 6 change, and the INDIA bloc's planned 6 October march, in a straight news style. Deccan Herald and Business Today focus on Gandhi's queries and the EC's denial of dissent. The Hindu and The Federal add Jairam Ramesh's accusation that the change was orchestrated by the PM-HM duo to remove Gen Z voters, and the demand for CEC Gyanesh Kumar's resignation, which the other two omit. The EC's defence that all orders carry legal sanction appears only in The Hindu and The Federal. The coverage is uniform on core facts, the difference is which opposition allegations get space. Rahul Gandhi questioned who at the Election Commission ordered TCS to change the online Form 6 for voter registration, calling the change illegal, and asked whether TCS was pressured. ## Coverage Coverage: 4 sources, 4 neutral - deccanherald.com (neutral report) Straight news, leads with Gandhi's questions, no editorialising. - businesstoday.in (neutral report) Reports Gandhi's queries and social media reaction, no slant. - thefederal.com (neutral report) Carries Ramesh's accusation and resignation demand, but in news tone. - thehindu.com (neutral report) Includes Ramesh's claim and EC's defence, reported without endorsement.
