Opposition parties have submitted a fresh notice in the Rajya Sabha seeking a motion to remove Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, intensifying the ongoing political confrontation over the Election Commission’s functioning. The notice, backed by dozens of MPs, follows earlier attempts that were rejected by parliamentary authorities. Leaders allege “partisan conduct” and lack of neutrality, particularly during recent electoral processes, and aim to gather wider parliamentary support. The move marks a renewed push by the opposition to challenge the credibility of the poll body, potentially triggering a complex constitutional process and further deepening tensions between the government and opposition parties.
