Kharge scales up SIR offensive at CWC, attacks PM Modi over ‘vote-demonetisation’
- Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge demanded Prime Minister Narendra Modi's resignation and the immediate removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar on Tuesday over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.
- Kharge accused the Election Commission of withholding critical data and favoring the ruling BJP. He alleged the CEC's actions were "arbitrary and unreasonable," a characterization two other Election Commissioners reportedly shared.
- At the Congress Working Committee, Kharge listed party demands including public disclosure of all electoral roll changes and independent investigations into serious discrepancies. He emphasized transparency is essential so no party can claim information is being hidden.
- Congress plans to raise these issues in Parliament and take to the streets to pressure the government. Kharge praised Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi for first raising concerns regarding poll process integrity.
- Alleging that democratic institutions in India have been systematically hollowed by the Modi government over the past 12 years, Kharge stated protecting every Indian's vote is essential to the Constitution. This reflects broader concerns about institutional independence.
