CEC's ability to 'execute G2's illegal orders' makes him a liability for country: Congress
Jairam Ramesh's attack on the CEC came a day after Supreme Court judge Justice Ujjal Bhuyan remarked that any process that "disenfranchises" millions of Indian citizens is "intrinsically arbitrary" and a "negation" of the constitutional order
On Monday, October 5, 2026, Congress claimed Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar must resign immediately, stating his ability to execute illegal orders from G2 has made him a liability for the country. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh criticized the CEC following Supreme Court judge Justice Ujjal Bhuyan's remarks, emphasizing that any process disenfranchising millions of Indian citizens is arbitrary and a negation of the constitutional order.
Ramesh argued that Kumar's actions violate the Constitution in letter and spirit, positioning the right to vote as a fundamental part of the basic structure of India's democracy.
