Leaders from the INDIA bloc gathered at Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s residence in New Delhi for a strategy meeting to plan a public impeachment of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The venue was relocated to Kharge’s official residence after permissions were reportedly denied for earlier locations, including Hotel Ashoka. The planned public proceedings are structured to reflect parliamentary functioning, with former Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar expected to preside over the session. The meeting was attended by senior opposition figures, including Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Derek O’Brien, Jairam Ramesh, and John Brittas. Leaders highlighted that representatives from opposition parties and civil society will participate, with motions to be moved and discussed by the Leaders of Opposition from both Houses. The opposition continues to target the Election Commission over electoral integrity concerns ahead of a planned mega rally.
