Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has accused Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar of “treason against the nation and the Constitution of India”. Addressing an INDIA bloc mock parliament in Delhi, Kharge levelled six allegations against the CEC, including claims of large-scale voter deletions during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), changes to voter registration rules and alleged interference in the Election Commission's functioning. He also accused Kumar of favouring the ruling BJP and compromising the poll body's independence. BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra hit back, accusing the opposition of trying to vitiate the atmosphere through its mock parliament and protests over alleged vote theft.
