Congress leader K.C. Venugopal predicts resignation of Chief Election Commissioner

AICC general secretary K.C. Venugopal has stated that Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar will soon be forced to resign. Speaking at a rally in Kozhikode, Venugopal accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah of leveraging the Election Commission to undermine the Congress party and manipulate electoral outcomes in Haryana, Maharashtra, and Karnataka.

Venugopal further alleged that 13.32 crore voters have been improperly deleted from electoral rolls. He criticized the 2023 amendment to election commissioner appointment laws, claiming it grants excessive legal immunity and removes the Chief Justice of India from the selection process, contrary to previous Supreme Court judgments.
