Opposition Moves to Remove Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar

Opposition parties in India have submitted a fresh notice in Rajya Sabha seeking to remove Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, with 73 MPs signing the motion. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh alleged nine specific charges of proven misbehaviour related to acts committed after March 15, 2026, calling Kumar's continuation an assault on the Constitution. The opposition accuses the CEC of partial conduct, particularly regarding Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Bihar and West Bengal. Earlier impeachment notices were rejected by the Lok Sabha Speaker and Rajya Sabha Chairman.
