A significant political development is underway in India's parliamentary landscape, as 130 Lok Sabha MPs and 63 Rajya Sabha MPs have rallied to demand the removal of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. This marks the first time such a notice has been filed against a sitting CEC.
The signed notice, a collective effort from members of all INDIA bloc parties and even the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), despite its departure from the bloc, centers around seven accusations. These charges include alleged partisan actions and impeding investigations into electoral fraud.
The removal process mirrors that of a Supreme Court judge, underscoring the gravity of the situation. As MPs prepare to present the notice, it remains unclear which House will first deliberate the motion, setting the stage for a potentially contentious political showdown.
