The Communist Party of India (CPI) organised a human chain in Delhi on Monday demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and a rollback of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
CPI general secretary D. Raja said Mr. Kumar had “lost the confidence of the people” and alleged that his continuation as Chief Election Commissioner posed a threat to the credibility of the electoral process.
The party said the protest was aimed at pressing its concerns over the functioning of the Election Commission and the ongoing revision exercise.
