Not just CEC, PM Modi and Shah should also resign for 'vote chori', says CWC

The Congress Working Committee (CWC) has called for an end to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah of orchestrating "vote chori" through CEC Gyanesh Kumar. At a meeting chaired by party chief Mallikarjun Kharge, the CWC demanded the resignation of Modi, Shah, and Kumar, as well as a halt to the SIR process and the restoration of over 13 crore voters deleted from the rolls.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi led the charge, arguing that the country now believes the electoral rolls and Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) were compromised. He also questioned how appointments were made despite his opposition and suggested that Modi was aware the BJP would lose future elections. The CWC resolution, read to the media by KC Venugopal and Jairam Ramesh, stated that the controversy had escalated from one man's warning to a national demand for transparency and accountability. The CWC left the decision of an action plan to the INDIA bloc, which will meet the following day.
