VCK chief Thol. Thirumavalavan demands resignation, arrest of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar

Congress activists in Madhya Pradesh staged protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar on Wednesday, demanding his resignation and questioning the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and electoral process. In Neemuch, workers burned Kumar's effigy, submitted a memorandum to the SDM, and clashed with police who erected barricades to restrict their entry.

In Khargone, the District Congress Committee held a demonstration, symbolically handcuffed a person portraying Kumar, and raised allegations of vote theft. Similar protests occurred in Mandsaur, Dhar, Jhabua, and Alot, with workers demanding transparency in voter lists and the electoral process, and alleging irregularities in the SIR process.

Leaders from various parties participated in the protests, emphasizing the need for an independent review of voter-list changes and an investigation into Congress's allegations of vote theft.
