‘Puppet’ of BJP, ‘calculated conspiracies’ to delete votes: Kharge targets CEC Gyanesh Kumar at CWC | Mint
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday called Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar a 'puppet' of the BJP, speaking at the party's Working Committee meeting in New Delhi. He accused the Modi government of deleting voters' names and hollowing out democracy, and listed five transparency demands before 2027 elections in five states. No tax or GST rule changed here, so nothing changes for you today.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Kharge said the Chief Election Commissioner has become a puppet of the Modi government and that names are being removed from voter lists through calculated conspiracies.
- The Congress listed five demands, including making public all data on major voter-list changes and giving removed voters full information and a chance to appeal.
- Kharge said the independence of the Election Commission is a first condition for democracy, with elections due in five states in 2027.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:This is a political debate, not a change in tax or GST rules, so no filing action is needed. Do keep an eye on official Election Commission announcements about voter-list updates, and if your own details look wrong, raise it through the official channel rather than social media forwards.
