RaGa warns Gyanesh Kumar over his future as CEC

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi warned Gyanesh Kumar, the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC), against his future role in the country's electoral system. Gandhi claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was protecting CEC Kumar, stating that the INDIA bloc's march to the Supreme Court would bring the issue to light before the nation.

The protests against alleged vote theft and the Election Commission have turned into a public movement in Delhi over the past four to five days, he said. Congress claimed that CJI instructed them to file a petition after expressing grave concern over the "murder of Indian democracy and election fairness." Gandhi also accused CEC Kumar of facilitating "vote chori" and accused the government of turning Delhi into a "fortress" with around 20,000 to 30,000 police personnel deployed.
