'Gyanesh Kumar Acting As Mastermind': Kejriwal Alleges Vote Rigging, Demands Arrest Of CEC And Fresh Polls In 4 States | Watch

Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal accused Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar of orchestrating a widespread vote-rigging scheme and acting as the mastermind behind it. Kejriwal demanded that Kumar be arrested and prosecuted under sedition charges. He also called for the annulment and re-polling of recent assembly elections held in Delhi, Bihar, West Bengal and Maharashtra.

According to Kejriwal, earlier allegations of electoral manipulation against the ruling party have now been confirmed, with Kumar serving as their behind-the-scenes operative. He cited a report from The Indian Express, which claimed that over 13 crore voter names were deleted during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process, which he deemed illegal.

Kejriwal argued that the Election Commission operates as an equal three-member body, but Kumar has been running it single-handedly, issuing unauthorised orders to subordinate staff.
