MisleadingAkhilesh Yadavchecked 30 Sept 2026“10 महीने में चुनाव आयोग के दो निर्वाचन आयुक्तों ने गलत फैसलों पर 14 आपत्तियां दर्ज कराईं। लेकिन, कुछ नहीं हुआ।”
The number of objections and the identity of the two Election Commissioners are supported by the record, so that part of the claim is accurate. But the record does not show an official finding that the decisions were 'wrong'; the Commission said they were unanimous. The claim that 'nothing happened' also leaves out the Commission's public response and its 26 September press note, though no source shows that any objected-to decision was reversed. The omission of that response is why the claim is better read with context rather than accepted or rejected outright.

What is actually true
An Indian Express investigation, reported by multiple outlets, found that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi recorded at least 14 formal objections over 10 months to orders issued in the Election Commission's name without their knowledge or approval. In response, the Commission said all its decisions, including those on the Special Intensive Revision, were unanimous and that the concerns did not change final decisions. On 26 September 2026, the full Commission issued a press note stating that directions by Commissioners must be complied with and that some work-redistribution orders had not actually been implemented.
