Key Questions Answered

TVK has distanced itself from Congress' demand for the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, with Tamil Nadu Minister A Rajmohan describing the demand as 'diversionary' and stating that removing a single individual will not resolve the larger concerns tied to the Special Intensive Revision.

Congress and other opposition parties demanded the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, alleging he lost his moral and administrative right to hold office after reports surfaced that two other Election Commissioners objected to panel decisions at least 14 times.

TVK maintains a clear stance of opposition against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, even though it considers demands to remove individual officials like the CEC to be a diversionary tactic.
