thebalanced.newsOpposition Prepares Fresh Parliamentary Notice to Remove Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar
Opposition parties in India are preparing a fresh parliamentary notice to seek the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, following the rejection of a previous impeachment attempt. The opposition alleges Kumar's conduct has compromised the Election Commission's independence, citing obstruction of electoral fraud investigations, refusal to share voter data, and controversial voter list revisions. They aim to gather more signatures to strengthen their case, while the government has so far dismissed these claims.
