DMK Demands Removal of CEC Gyanesh Kumar Amid SIR Protests and Electoral Concerns
The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), led by MK Stalin, held a key meeting demanding the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged voter deletions during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The party supported protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and student groups, called for a return to paper ballots, and criticized both the Union government and the Congress for their roles in the controversy. DMK is exploring forming a third front with CJP and regional parties, distancing itself from the Congress-led INDIA bloc.
