The INDIA bloc will hold its planned "public impeachment" of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar on October 30 at Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge's residence in New Delhi.
Congress MP Jairam Ramesh announced the venue change after the Congress alleged that permission to organise the event at the Ashok Hotel and Ramlila Maidan had been denied. Congress general secretary K.C. Venugopal accused the government of attempting to silence the opposition. The October 30 event is planned as a curtain-raiser for an INDIA bloc rally at Ramlila Maidan on November 1. Opposition parties are protesting over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and alleged electoral irregularities. #indiabloc #Anti-CECcampaign #publicimpeachment The Hindu 197 16:9
