'CEC Gyanesh Kumar, PM Modi, Shah conspired to sabotage Indian democracy': K C Venugopal
- On Monday, AICC general secretary Venugopal alleged a "criminal conspiracy" between CEC Gyanesh Kumar, Narendra Modi, and Amit Shah to sabotage Indian democracy, claiming the Election Commission has been turned into a BJP party committee.
- Venugopal referenced reports that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi flagged multiple issues, including voter name deletions, during the pan-India SIR.
- While Election Commission officials stated the poll body reached unanimous decisions regarding the SIR, Venugopal claimed Rahul Gandhi previously highlighted deleted voter figures aligning with the commissioners' reported concerns.
- The AICC plans to hold a working committee meeting to determine its course of action regarding CEC Gyanesh Kumar, with INDIA bloc parties potentially joining the effort to "protect the foundation of democracy."
- Neither the CEC, Narendra Modi, nor Amit Shah have reacted to the allegations by the AICC general secretary; meanwhile, Ramdas Athawale has backed CEC Gyanesh Kumar, arguing that opposing electoral transparency means opposing democracy.
