Impeach Gyanesh Kumar to save democracy': Opposition closes ranks against CEC, calls for his arrest
A united Opposition pressed for Kumar’s removal, probe and rollback of SIR over reported objections by two election commissioners; BJP calls it "a reflection of pure democracy".
Two election commissioners, Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, red-flagged issues relating to the deletion of names under the SIR of electoral rolls and raised objections to the decision-making process 14 times in recent months, according to a report in the Indian Express.
Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, reiterated his "vote chori" charge against the Election Commission, calling it an act of treason and a crime against the people of India.
"The BJP, RSS and EC who organised it have committed an act of treason. Justice will be served," Gandhi said.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said that on 24 April 2026, 73 opposition Rajya Sabha MPs had submitted a new Notice of Motion to the Secretary General seeking Kumar's removal.
"The Monsoon Session of Parliament has not yet been prorogued. Will the Hon'ble Rajya Sabha Chairman now decide on that pending Notice?" Kharge said, adding that the country would demand answers from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Former West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee demanded Kumar's arrest and fresh assembly elections in the state using the pre-SIR voter list, alleging that the BJP and the poll panel had "looted" the elections held earlier this year.
"It has now been proven that the BJP and the EC looted the West Bengal assembly polls," Banerjee said in a Facebook live.
