‘Gyanesh Gaddar’: Youth Congress defaces CEC's Agra home during protest
Congress' Maharashtra unit also staged a protest on Monday across the state over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR).
In Agra, opposition protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar escalated on Monday, centered around the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Graffiti with the words "Gyanesh Gaddar, Vote Chor" was found on his residence in Hariparvat area, allegedly spray-painted by Congress workers. The incident quickly spread to other cities like Patna, Rajasthan, Hyderabad, Delhi, Pune, and others, with protesters alleging various grievances against the Election Commission.
Opposition leaders, including Rohit Pawar, have harshly criticized Kumar, claiming he represents the government of India, not the people. The opposition maintains that the SIR exercise could negatively impact genuine voters, despite the Election Commission's claim that it aims to ensure accurate and clean electoral rolls.
