Opposition Moves Impeachment Against CEC Gyanesh Kumar Citing Partisan Conduct

The Opposition has submitted impeachment notices against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, citing charges such as partisan conduct, obstruction of electoral fraud investigations, and voter disenfranchisement during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The notices, signed by 193 MPs, reference concerns including Kumar's public remarks against Rahul Gandhi and alleged manipulation favoring the ruling party. Removal requires proven misbehaviour or incapacity and follows the stringent procedure for Supreme Court judges under Article 324 of the Constitution.
