Congress activists staged a protest on Wednesday outside the Collectorate in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The demonstration was part of a state-wide agitation against the CEC and the Election Commission over their decisions regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
Some protesters managed to breach police barriers while attempting to access the Collectorate premises, escalating the tension. Similar protests took place in Indore as Congress members took to the streets demanding Kumar's removal due to alleged irregularities and lack of transparency in the revision process. The Congress has accused the Election Commission of deleting and verifying voters' names without proper due diligence.
The Election Commission refuted these claims, stating that its decisions were unanimous and in line with the law. Despite the allegations against Gyanesh Kumar, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear a petition seeking his suspension over the perceived unilateral actions of the Election Commission.
