Why gyanesh Is Trending Today?

The Opposition is contemplating impeachment proceedings against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, following allegations of voter fraud, or 'vote chori', in the recent elections. Kumar has responded to these allegations, dismissing them as baseless. The Opposition is likely to table an impeachment motion notice against Kumar, with the Indian National Development Alliance (INDIA) bloc also considering this course of action. Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has criticized Kumar's recent remarks about '22 lakh dead voters', describing them as 'absolutely ridiculous'.

CEC Gyanesh Kumar refuses to share machine-readable voters list due to privacy concerns, as per a Supreme Court order. He hints at a possible State of Inevitable Results (SIR) in West Bengal, similar to Bihar. Kumar sternly responds to Rahul Gandhi's 'vote theft' allegations, demanding an affidavit or apology, and dismisses the charges as baseless. The Congress party counters, urging the EC to investigate rather than intimidate. Kumar challenges Rahul Gandhi to apologize to the nation or submit an affidavit, warning of severe consequences if the latter is not provided. He also addresses misinformation regarding the Bihar SIR, stating that it is a deliberate attempt. The Election Commission rebukes Rahul Gandhi's 'vote chori' charges, calling it an insult to the Constitution.
