INDIA bloc to move Supreme Court against Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi announced that the INDIA bloc will move the Supreme Court against Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Gandhi claimed that "200 government officers are in touch with us" and provide inside information. He also stated that the INDIA bloc leaders marched to the Supreme Court. Some reports indicate Gandhi suggested Kumar could be "forgiven" if he resigned. The protests and allegations of electoral irregularities have led to comparisons with electoral amendments made under former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
