Protests Put Election Chief and Government Under Pressure

Opposition leaders are protesting the way India’s election body is being run.

Rahul Gandhi planned to lead a march to the Election Commission, but police reportedly did not allow it.

The protesters held their demonstration at the All India Radio campus instead.

The article says reports that two other election commissioners objected to Gyanesh Kumar’s style have increased doubts about the commission.

The author believes these doubts could hurt people’s trust in the election body.

The article also says the ruling BJP’s attacks on Rahul may have helped him gain attention.

Its author argues that the government should ensure Kumar resigns.

The article says the government cannot simply dismiss him without impeachment.
