Delhi SIR purge: More than half (54.6%) of Delhi voters have either been deleted or asked to prove their identity and voting right by ECI. While VIPs get a special pass, the poor are suffering enormously, shows @reporters_co investigation.
We broke the ECI's digital wall to carry out large data analysis and ground investigation.

The Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls is being litigated as a question of the Election Commission’s powers. But behind the notices sent to millions of electors is another question that has received far less scrutiny, what software is deciding who gets flagged, on what data, and according to which rules?

A follow up with due credit to @reporters_co team's investigation on VIP voters in Delhi #SIR
We build on each other's work. Suruchi helped us by pointing to correction in another story earlier.

And also read @suruchiarchives 👇🏾
Delhi SIR: Prominent names flagged for notices were marked ‘shifted’, ‘absent’ before records were changed under 'mark VIP'. Read👇@the_hindu
This feature was added on July 30 @reporters_co reported. Enumeration phase was extended on August 4 again. thehindu.com/news/cities/Del…

Now other media outles are also joining in. If most in media had taken seriously work of likes of Nitin Sethi @nit_set, Reporters Collective @reporters_co and others in alternative media, the rot could have been countered earlier. 2/7

It's a backhand compliment to my colleagues at @reporters_co that a Rs 450 crore annual revenue newspaper @htTweets, in order to fill its page 1, has to plagiarise a story from a tiny newsroom run on citizens' donations.

It is a great story originally done by @reporters_co plagiarised shamelessly by the HT reporters.
Congrats team @nit_set and team.

Knowing the amazing work of at least one of the two reporters, I feel quite sure @raman_anuradha it wasn't the reporters and likely the @htTweets editors who decided to plagiarise out rather than credit.
It's sad that reporters today don't realise that acknowledging the work of fellow reporters only adds weight to their reports! It's like taking a story forward a d giving it a longer shelf life

Beyond shocking. If there is anything left to shock us that is @nit_set
Are you aware that voters are being bracketed into ‘general’ and ‘VIP’ voters in the Delhi SIR?
Our investigation cracked the BLOApp’s code to find that ECI has switched on a feature called “Mark VIP” which treats VIPs differently than ordinary citizens.

Was not this story first broken by @reporters_co ?
In Delhi, the ECI is bending the SIR rules to give an easy pass to the VIP voters.
No VIP to be left out, but ordinary citizens can be left behind.

Great to see @htTweets follow up on a SIR story my colleagues at @reporters_co investigated in great detail.
Would have been better if they cited it coz it didn't stop at just the VIP module, they brought our the illegal orders ECI officials are sending through WhatsApp.

बिहार और बंगाल चुनाव ज्ञानेश और बीजेपी ने मिलकर लुटा। जोशी और संधू मूकदर्शक बने बैठे रहे। बंगाल में वोटों की डकैती की गहराई कितनी थी? इस इंटरव्यू में आप जानेंगे।
देश में चुनावी लूट पर सबसे बड़ी कवरेज करने वाले "द रिपोर्ट्स कलेक्टिव" @reporters_co के एडिटर नितिन सेठी बता रहे हैं कि इस साजिशों से भरी लुट को अंजाम कैसे दिया गया? न्यायालय ने किस तरह के बकवास आर्डर करके इन अपराधियों को प्रश्रय दिया।
नितिन बता रहे हैं कि पूरे देश में की जा रही वोटों की डकैती में सबसे अहम भूमिका किसकी है? इसको वास्तविक धरातल पर लाने वाला मिस्टर इंडिया कौन है?
पूरे इंटरव्यू का लिंक कमेंट बॉक्स में। सिर्फ और सिर्फ द लेंस पर

And all the rockstar women journalists @reporters_co who have broken one dazzling #SIR story after another, putting the @ECISVEEP into the dock again, and again, and again. Women journalists are incredible.

Delhi listens when it happens to the elite of Delhi. #SIR has taken away fundamental right of the poorest from Arunachal to West Bengal to Karnataka. We @reporters_co have reported on SIR scandals over a year from the point it began in Bihar.
