Congress launches public impeachment drive against CEC Gyanesh Kumar over alleged rigging

Congress on Saturday launched a <b>public impeachment</b> (जन महाभियोग) against <b>Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar</b>, alleging a <b>13‑crore</b> voter‑list cut and a mock‑parliament scheme. The party claims the CEC’s office removed 13 crore names, undermining electoral fairness, but no court ruling or official confirmation has been issued yet. The Election Commission has declined to comment, stating the matter is under investigation. The move heightens political tension ahead of the national elections, prompting public and institutional scrutiny of the voting process.
