Members of the INDIA bloc held a mock parliament session in Khadga's residence in Odisha, demanding the removal of Election Commission of India chief Gyanesh Kumar.
Political opposition groups in Odisha organized a 'mock parliament' session at the residence of Khadga on Tuesday. The event was convened by members of the INDIA bloc to voice their dissent against the current leadership of the Election Commission of India.
The primary objective of the gathering was to demand the immediate removal of Election Commission of India (ECI) chief Gyanesh Kumar. Participants argued that the current administration of the electoral body does not meet the standards of neutrality required for free and fair elections.
The mock parliament served as a symbolic protest, allowing opposition leaders to simulate parliamentary proceedings to highlight their grievances. The event underscores the growing political tension surrounding the independence and functioning of the ECI in the state.
While no official government response has been recorded immediately following the event, the demonstration signals the INDIA bloc's intent to keep pressure on the central government regarding electoral reforms.
