Left Parties Protest Voter Roll Revisions, Demand Resignations and Restoration
Left parties, including CPI(M) and CPI, have protested against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, alleging mass deletion of voter names that disproportionately affects marginalized groups. They demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on moral grounds, seeking restoration of deleted names. The Left plans a major march in Kolkata on October 2 to press these demands and calls for repeal of the 2023 law on Election Commission appointments, emphasizing concerns over democratic norms.
