President Murmu faces pressure over demands for CEC removal and proof of malpractice Following accusations of electoral malpractice and conspiracy, a 10-member INDIA bloc delegation met President Droupadi Murmu. The delegation submitted a memorandum demanding the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, the suspension of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, and a review of elections held over the past two years.

Why it matters

The President's role as the constitutional head of state means that she is the ultimate recipient of high-level political challenges regarding the integrity of the electoral process. By asking the Opposition to provide proof, her office is formally engaging with the political dispute over electoral malpractice, which is a significant constitutional moment.

This pressure comes amid a broader political conflict concerning the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, where opposition parties allege large-scale deletions of names. The controversy highlights the tension between the government's assertion of statutory procedures and the opposition's demand for institutional accountability.

What we don't know yet

  • Will the Opposition provide the evidence of electoral malpractice requested by the President?
  • How will the President respond if the Opposition fails to substantiate the claims of conspiracy?
