Gyanesh Kumar के वो राज़ जो छुपा दिए गए! | Political Naari by Nivedita

In this episode of Political Naari, Nivedita examine the controversial career of Gyanesh Kumar, from his time as a senior bureaucrat in Kerala and the Union government to his appointment as India’s Chief Election Commissioner. The story goes back to 2006, when Malaysian engineer Lee See Been, associated with the World Bank-funded Kerala State Transport Project, died after returning to Malaysia. Reports at the time said that a letter attributed to him named several Kerala government officials, including then PWD Secretary Gyanesh Kumar, and alleged harassment, delays in payments and pressure surrounding the project. The Kerala government subsequently removed Kumar from his position and ordered an inquiry. However, as the script itself notes, the allegations against Gyanesh Kumar were never established in court, and no action was ultimately taken against him in connection with the case. The episode then traces Kumar’s rise through the bureaucracy, including his important roles in the Ministry of Home Affairs, his association with the process of establishing the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, and his tenure as Secretary of the Ministry of Cooperation, headed by Amit Shah. He was appointed Election Commissioner in 2024 and became Chief Election Commissioner in 2025. The video also examines the controversy surrounding the Chief Election Commissioner appointment process, the 2023 law that changed the selection committee, and the role of the Prime Minister, a Union Cabinet Minister and the Leader of Opposition in selecting election commissioners. A major part of the episode focuses on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, beginning with Bihar and later extending to West Bengal. The script examines concerns over voter deletions, documentation requirements, Form 6, electoral-roll databases and objections reportedly raised by Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi. It also looks at the debate over transparency, voter privacy and access to electoral data. What does Gyanesh Kumar’s long administrative career tell us about the functioning and independence of India’s electoral institutions? What are the documented facts behind the controversies, and which claims remain allegations rather than proven findings? Watch the full episode of Political Naari to understand the timeline, controversies and institutional questions surrounding one of the most powerful positions in India’s electoral system.
