CPI Protests Demand Resignation of Chief Election Commissioner and Rollback of Electoral Revision
The Communist Party of India (CPI) organized protests in New Delhi demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, citing loss of public confidence and threats to electoral credibility. The CPI called for the rollback of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, which they say disenfranchised voters, and demanded the reopening of Jantar Mantar as a protest site. The protests included a human chain from CPI headquarters to ITO, with participation from party leaders and allied organizations.
