Rahul Gandhi and the INDIA bloc have intensified their campaign over alleged electoral irregularities linked to the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, demanding the CEC's resignation and announcing legal moves against him.
Petitions filed against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar allege that around 14 decisions regarding the Special Intensive Revision process were taken unilaterally without the concurrence of the other two Election Commissioners.
The Supreme Court declined to issue an interim order to suspend Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, but it issued notices to the Election Commission and the Centre seeking their responses within a week.
