This move comes as the Opposition is stepping up its demand for the removal of Mr. Kumar from the post.
Article 324 (5) of the Constitution deals with the removal of the CEC in a similar manner and grounds as that of a judge of the Supreme Court while the term impeachment (Article 61) is reserved for the President’s office.
“After this Public Impeachment, we will hold a Dilli Chalo March against Vote Chori culminating at Ramleela Maidan on November 1st, where at least a million concerned citizens will participate,” said Mr. Venugopal in his post.
Mr. Venugopal has said that Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has reached out to all INDIA Bloc parties and requested their leaders and members to be present in Delhi during this period “in full force”.
