Congress to Hold CWC Meet on Tuesday to Chalk Out Strategy for CEC's Ouster
Congress will discuss internal Election Commission disputes and its demand for Gyanesh Kumar’s removal, as protests over the issue spread across four states.
- On Tuesday, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge convened the Congress Working Committee to discuss 'internal differences' within the Election Commission of India and strategize for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's removal.
- This meeting follows revelations that two Election Commissioners objected on record at least 14 times in 10 months to Special Intensive Revision decisions, citing glaring process gaps and lack of consultation.
- Congress leaders alleged Kumar acts as a 'front for diabolical PM-HM duo,' with party officials claiming he propagates Bharatiya Janata Party philosophy and has become a 'BJP worker' instead of maintaining neutrality.
- The Opposition INDIA bloc plans to meet Wednesday to coordinate a joint strategy, with parties likely to file a fresh notice in Parliament seeking Kumar's removal for 'acting in a partisan manner.'
- Responding to the controversy, the Election Commission asserted that all SIR orders received unanimous consent from the three Commissioners and that updates to Form 6 were upheld by the Supreme Court.
