Opposition to hold mock impeachment of CEC at Kharge's house
· India · Times of India, Indian Express
Congress said the INDIA bloc will stage a public impeachment of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar at party president Mallikarjun Kharge's residence after the government denied permission at Ashoka Hotel. Earlier, KC Venugopal claimed the hotel initially allowed the event but withdrew permission following police intervention. The mock impeachment is part of broader protests demanding Kumar's resignation over the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and alleged irregularities. The protest includes a Dilli Chalo March on November 1st culminating at Ramleela Maidan, with Kharge urging all INDIA bloc parties to send leaders to Delhi.
Why it matters
The event escalates opposition pressure on the Election Commission, potentially influencing the lead‑up to the November 1st mega rally and upcoming elections, and signals deepening political tension between the government and the INDIA bloc.
