Revanth Reddy Alleges Election Commission Misuse, Demands CEC ResignationPreviousNext

Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy accused the Election Commission of India (ECI) and its Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar of being used by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government to influence elections. He alleged that the revision of electoral rolls led to the deletion of over 13 crore voters, disproportionately affecting marginalized groups. Reddy demanded the resignation of the CEC and criticized the use of central agencies to sway electoral outcomes. The INDIA bloc, including Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, protested to protect voting rights and oppose alleged electoral manipulation.
