INDIA Bloc Plans Chennai Protest Demanding CEC Gyanesh Kumar's Removal
Tamil Nadu's INDIA Bloc, including TVK and Congress, plans a protest on October 15 in Chennai demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's removal over concerns about the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The demonstration marks TVK's first participation since joining the bloc. While most leaders support the protest, TVK Chief and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay did not attend, keeping options open. Opposition parties await the Supreme Court's response to their petition before further actions.
