Hyderabad Protesters Demand Resignation of Election Commissioner
Approximately 120 protesters marched in Hyderabad on Saturday to demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the cancellation of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Participants, including students and activists, alleged that the revision process is being used to delete eligible voters rather than updating registries.
The rally proceeded from Sundarayya Vignana Kendram toward Ashok Nagar, with demonstrators calling for greater government transparency regarding voter deletions. Former Telangana Education Commission chairperson Akunuri Murali joined the protest, labeling the large-scale removal of names from electoral lists a threat to democracy.
