The public impeachment resolution against the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) of India, Gyanesh Kumar, was unanimously passed on October 31, 2026, by the INDIA bloc opposition parties during a symbolic "public parliament" program. The main text of the resolution reads as follows:

The resolution, initiated by members of parliament from the INDIA alliance representing over 60 percent of India's population, reaffirms commitment to Article 326 and calls for impeachment proceedings against CEC Gyanesh Kumar.

The Six Charges Against Him:

4.     Seized the Electoral Rolls Through ECINET: Centralized roll control via ECINET/ERONET to execute deletions and restrict local EROs.

5.     Shut Out the Other Two Commissioners: Charged with unlawfully excluding co-commissioners from key decisions.

6.     Acted at the Behest of Modi and Shah: Accused of lacking independence and favouring top government leadership, with alleged benefits extended to family members.

 

The Core Demands:

·         Immediate Removal & Treason Trial: Demands a trial for treason in a court of law.

·         Revocation of Legal Protection: Calls to revoke legal immunity granted to the CEC.

·         Halt the SIR Process: Demands an immediate stop to the Special Intensive Revision.
