West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has called for the impeachment of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, alleging irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls that she claims disproportionately affect Trinamool Congress supporters. Following her walkout from a meeting with the Election Commission, the Trinamool Congress is consulting other opposition parties about a possible impeachment motion. Congress leaders have expressed openness to discussing the issue, though Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has refrained from commenting. The impeachment process requires a special parliamentary majority and is being considered amid allegations of voter deletions in opposition-ruled states.
