NEW DELHI: The INDIA bloc on Friday postponed its proposed ‘public impeachment’ proceedings against chief election commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar to Saturday due to rain. The programme was scheduled to take place at 10, Rajaji Marg, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s residence in New Delhi.
The opposition bloc had planned the event as a public expression of its demand for Kumar’s removal, accusing the Election Commission of failing to address its concerns over alleged ‘vote chori’. The proceedings were intended to bring together leaders and representatives of INDIA bloc parties to discuss the charges against the CEC and the opposition’s demand for action.
According to the sources, former Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar will preside over the proceedings and the leader of opposition in the Rajya Sabha would move a motion, followed by speeches from representatives of various parties.
The Congress had also announced a ‘Dilli Chalo’ march against alleged vote chori to Ramlila Maidan on November 1, with the party aiming to mobilise at least one million citizens.

Israel's president must now consult with party leaders to assign the mandate to build a viable government.

These deceptive operations are actively feeding their narratives into artificial intelligence systems, causing chatbots like ChatGPT to cite partisan propaganda as legitimate source material. Researchers caution that the practice obscures genuine political funding while manipulating automated information ecosystems relied upon by voters.
