INDIA bloc to hold ‘public impeachment’ of CEC Gyanesh Kumar today | LIVE

Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition(Lok Sabha) along with INDIA Bloc leaders reaches for a press conference at 10 Rajaji Marg in New Delhi on October 30, 2026.

The Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) Bloc will hold the “public impeachment” of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar on Saturday (October 31, 2026), after it was postponed on Friday owing to rains in the national capital.

Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi said the Opposition parties would hold the Chalo Dilli march from the Minto Road–Connaught Place junction in central Delhi to Ramlila Maidan on November 1, where the INDIA bloc would hold a rally against alleged vote chori (theft) through the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and press for the CEC’s resignation.

Mr. Gandhi also accused the Home Minister of trying to prevent people from reaching Delhi for the November 1 rally, an allegation rejected as a ‘lie’ by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The BJP on Friday (October 30) rejected as a “lie” Rahul Gandhi’s claim that Home Minister Amit Shah is trying to stop people from coming to Delhi for the INDIA bloc’s November 1 rally in Delhi and asked the Congress leader to stop misleading people by spreading falsehood.

Addressing a press conference, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra also demanded that Mr. Gandhi show proof of his allegation.

The BJP’s response came after Mr. Gandhi alleged that the home minister is “trying his best” to stop people from coming into Delhi to participate in INDIA bloc’s November 1 rally.

The INDIA bloc on Friday (October 30) asserted that it stood united against vote theft and would hold a “public impeachment” of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar on October 31, claiming that the countdown to the ouster of the poll panel chief was accelerating.

Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi said “this is not multiple protests” but “one protest” and asserted that the entire Opposition stood united in protecting the votes of every Indian and in defending the Constitution.

He asserted that the Ramlila rally would be a big one despite attempts by the government and Home Minister Amit Shah to stop people from other States from joining in.

Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren and State Congress leaders on Friday (October 30) left for New Delhi to participate in the INDIA bloc “mega rally” on the “vote chori” issue, and to press for the resignation of CEC Gyanesh Kumar over alleged voter list irregularities.

The rally on Sunday is expected to bring together opposition leaders and workers from across the country.

Several senior Congress leaders, including its Jharkhand unit chief Keshav Mahto Kamlesh, also departed for the national capital to take part in the rally.

INDIA bloc march on November 1 would begin at noon from the Minto Road-Connaught Place junction and culminate at the Ramlila Maidan, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Friday (October 30).

Mr. Gandhi gave this information during an ‘Ask Me’ session on Instagram.

The “public impeachment” of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar by the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) has been postponed by a day (to Saturday, October 31) because of rains, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi said on Friday (October 30).

Mr. Gandhi said the Opposition parties would hold the Chalo Dilli march from the Minto Road–Connaught Place junction in central Delhi to Ramlila Maidan on November 1, where the INDIA bloc would hold a rally against alleged vote chori (theft) through the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and press for the CEC’s resignation.

INDIA bloc postpones the public impeachment of CEC Gyanesh Kumar to Oct 31 due to muddy lawns from rain in New Delhi.
