Why is the Congress party objecting to the selection of Gyanesh Kumar as Chief Election Commissioner?
The Congress party is objecting to Gyanesh Kumar's selection as Chief Election Commissioner because they have challenged the legality of the law governing such appointments in the Supreme Court. This objection comes after Kumar was appointed following a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. The matter has reached the judicial system and is scheduled for hearing on Saturday. This controversy highlights broader concerns about election integrity and the extent of governmental control over the Election Commission, which oversees India's democratic processes including upcoming state assembly elections and the 2029 Lok Sabha elections.
