Gyanesh Kumar misled the country, must resign: D. Raja
· India · The Hindu, Zee News
Communist Party of India General Secretary D. Raja called for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation on October 5, 2026, alleging he misled the country about changes to Form 6. Raja stated the Supreme Court had remarked on October 5 that the modified Form 6 was not approved by the apex court, contrary to an ECI press release from September 26. He accused Kumar of invoking the Supreme Court's name to justify the changes and ignoring objections from other Election Commissioners. The INDIA bloc plans to protest outside the CEO's office on Wednesday, October 7, 2026. Raja demanded the Election Commission provide answers on who altered Form 6 and who authorised the false reference to the Supreme Court.
Why it matters
The allegations challenge the credibility and impartiality of India's Election Commission, raising concerns about electoral integrity ahead of future polls. Public trust in democratic institutions could be undermined if the claims of procedural violations are substantiated.
