The Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance staged a symbolic public impeachment of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar in New Delhi on 31 October, accusing him of electoral manipulation and demanding his removal. The event, originally slated for 23 October, was to be held at Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s residence with former Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar presiding, but permission for other venues was denied.

Heavy rain forced the bloc to postpone the three-hour session, a delay announced by Rahul Gandhi, who also warned the BJP that the commissioner would not remain in office and hinted at further revelations. The BJP dismissed the impeachment as a theatrical mockery of democracy.
