  "account": "Ahead of an anticipated march to the Supreme Court, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi held a press conference demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation. Gandhi alleged that Kumar had committed a \"crime\" but was not the \"main criminal\" or the person responsible for the alleged wrongdoing. He claimed Kumar was pressured by the Prime Minister, Amit Shah, and Ajit Doval. Gandhi urged Kumar to resign, stating it would be \"easy\" for him to step aside. The INDIA bloc planned to march to the Supreme Court at 1:30 pm on Monday and seek a meeting with the Chief Justice to address concerns about alleged \"vote chori.\" Gandhi criticized demands for officials' resignations and warned that the protest would continue. Gandhi also addressed Kumar directly, warning him that he would not escape the scrutiny as the Chief Election Commissioner due to the ongoing investigation.",
