Congress stages protests demanding CEC’s resignation

Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president Mahesh Kumar Goud demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, alleging that recent developments surrounding the Election Commission’s handling of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls had raised questions about its transparency and credibility.

Demanding the CEC’s resignation, the TPCC organised a protest rally from the Indira Gandhi Statue on Necklace Road to the office of the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO).

Mr Goud, along with Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka and Ministers Ponnam Prabhakar, Duddilla Sridhar Babu, Mohammed Azharuddin and Gaddam Vivek Venkataswamy, later met Chief Electoral Officer C. Sudarshan Reddy and submitted a memorandum.
