Congress Protests Demand Removal of Chief Election Commissioner Over Electoral Concerns
Congress leaders and supporters staged protests and padayatras in Telangana and Karnataka demanding the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. They accused the Election Commission of India of acting under political influence from the BJP-led central government, alleging voter roll revisions disenfranchised marginalized groups. Congress leaders condemned the detention of Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi during protests and vowed to intensify campaigns to protect voting rights. The demonstrations reflect broader concerns over the independence of electoral institutions and calls for free and fair elections.
