Anti-Gyanesh Protests Intensify Over Electoral Roll Revision

A group called CJP held a demonstration calling for Gyanesh Kumar to be removed as Chief Election Commissioner.

The protest was about changes to voter lists, called the SIR.

A report by The Indian Express said two other election commissioners had objected to some parts of the process involving Form 6.

After that report appeared, the Opposition and CJP renewed claims of “vote-chori” against the government.

They called for Kumar to be removed and impeached.

They also asked for voter lists to be returned to how they were before the SIR.

Another demand was to cancel elections held while Kumar was the ECI chief.
