MP: Youth Congress Stages Protest Against CEC Gyanesh Kumar in Bhopal, Demands Resignation
The Cockroach Janta Party and student and civil society groups held protests in Mumbai and New Delhi, demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation over voter-list revisions.
Police detained some Delhi protesters, tightened security around Jantar Mantar, and closed nearby metro stations.
Critics and opposition parties alleged that the revisions could remove eligible voters and benefit the Bharatiya Janata Party, while the Election Commission and government denied wrongdoing.
The Election Commission said the revisions aimed to remove duplicate or ineligible voters and received unanimous approval.
