Congress gears up for nationwide protests, demands Gyanesh Kumar’s removal

New Delhi, Sep 27 (UNI) Congress general secretary K C Venugopal on Sunday announced that the party had mobilised its district-level leadership for nationwide protests scheduled for Monday against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, reiterating its demand for his immediate removal and reversal of decisions taken under his watch.
Venugopal said a virtual meeting of more than 1,000 District Congress Committee (DCC) presidents had been convened to brief them on the protests, which form part of the party’s campaign against alleged irregularities in the electoral process and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. In a post on social media platform X, Venugopal accused Kumar of committing “criminal acts” that, according to the Congress, had helped the Narendra Modi-led government and the BJP orchestrate what the party describes as “Vote Chori”.
Declaring that the Congress would take its message to voters across the country, he said the party would continue building public pressure to protect the democratic framework. “Our demands have been Gyanesh Kumar’s immediate removal and a reversal of all decisions taken under his watch,” Venugopal said, asserting that the campaign would be pursued from the senior leadership to the grassroots.
