Rahul Gandhi on Thursday attacks Gyanesh Kumar, identified by outlets as a chief of India’s election administration, calling him a “traitor” and demanding his resignation. The remarks come amid criticism described by multiple reports as including posters calling for “Gyanesh Hatao,” an online petition, and a plea filed in court.
The reports frame the dispute as part of a broader public and legal campaign against Kumar’s continued leadership. NDTV also says the Congress response emphasizes protecting democracy, with Gandhi warning that the party will not “silently” watch it being “destroyed” in the context of the ongoing controversy. While the coverage focuses on Gandhi’s language and the demand for resignation, it does not provide an administrative or judicial outcome within the reports themselves, leaving the issue’s resolution dependent on subsequent legal or political developments.
Overall, the different elements highlighted—street-level posters, online mobilisation, and court action—point to escalating scrutiny directed at the poll body chief, paired with a sharp political response from the Congress leader.
