New Delhi, India | August 18, 2025 — The I.N.D.I.A. bloc has decided to move an impeachment motion against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, amid rising tensions over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists and allegations of vote manipulation.
The decision was taken during a meeting of I.N.D.I.A. floor leaders chaired by Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge. Opposition leaders have intensified their protests, claiming that the voter list revision could lead to irregularities and potentially undermine the integrity of upcoming elections.
Officials from the bloc stated that the notice to impeach the CEC will be formally submitted in the Parliament soon. The move marks a significant escalation in the ongoing political standoff between the Opposition and the Election Commission of India. Analysts say this step reflects the Opposition’s intent to assert accountability and transparency in electoral processes.
Political observers are closely monitoring the situation, as the motion could spark debates in both houses of Parliament and impact the broader election preparedness landscape across the country.
