FIRs Filed After Opposition March Demanding CEC Gyanesh Kumar's Resignation
Two First Information Reports (FIRs) were registered following an opposition march in New Delhi on October 10, which demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. The march was part of a protest against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The Congress party accused the CEC of "shamelessness" regarding the Bengal voter inclusion drive. The Kerala Home Minister defended a vigilance probe into a 20-year-old road project linked to Gyanesh Kumar, stating "Crime never dies." Meanwhile, the BJP government was reportedly fighting back amid the deepening Delhi protest against the CEC.
