Kharge to move motion, ex-LS speaker Meira Kumar to preside over INDIA bloc's mock impeachment of CEC Gyanesh Kumar
The public impeachment programme planned by the opposition against the CEC over alleged electoral irregularities will take place at Kharge's residence.
The Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) Bloc has announced plans to hold a "public impeachment" of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar on Saturday (October 31, 2026), following an earlier postponement due to rain. This protest follows accusations of alleged vote fraud through the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi asserted that the entire Opposition stood united in protecting voters' rights and defending the Constitution, and he claimed that the rally in Ramlila Maidan would be a significant demonstration, despite government efforts to prevent participants from other states from attending. The BJP rejected Rahul Gandhi's claim that Home Minister Amit Shah was attempting to hinder the rally, demanding proof of the allegation.
The INDIA bloc rally, scheduled to begin at noon from Minto Road-Connaught Place junction and culminate at Ramlila Maidan, will see participation from opposition leaders and workers from across the country.
