Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge demanded accountability from Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar during the INDIA bloc’s symbolic public impeachment proceedings in New Delhi on October 31. Kharge accused Kumar of undermining democracy through alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and claimed that eligible voters were being deprived of their voting rights. He argued that such actions amounted to an attack on the Constitution and said Kumar should face serious consequences, including a treason trial. The opposition also demanded his removal, alleging political bias and electoral manipulation. (PC: X)
