Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday questioned the Election Commission of India (ECI) over changes made to the online Form 6 used for fresh voter registration, asking who authorised Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) to make the alteration and who approved it at the company.

Gandhi also questioned whether TCS was pressured into carrying out the change. His remarks came amid a wider dispute over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and reported differences within the Election Commission over the addition of an SIR-linked declaration to the online voter registration process.
