INDIA Bloc Plans ‘Public Impeachment’ Proceeding Against CEC on October 30

The opposition INDIA bloc, led by senior Congress leader K.C. Venugopal, has announced plans to organise a “public impeachment proceeding” against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar on October 30. The proposed move comes amid allegations of serious irregularities in voter lists and failures in electoral management.The opposition has raised concerns over the Election Commission’s accountability and its handling of electoral processes, calling for greater transparency and responsibility. The planned proceeding is expected to serve as a platform for the opposition to highlight its allegations and intensify its political campaign against the poll body’s functioning.However, the proposed public proceeding is a political initiative and does not constitute a formal impeachment process under the constitutional procedure applicable to the Chief Election Commissioner.
