MUKUL ROHATGI SAYS NO BASIS FOR IMPEACHMENT OF CEC

NEW DELHI: Senior advocate and former Attorney General of India Mukul Rohatgi explains the constitutional threshold for removing a Chief Election Commissioner under Article 324, arguing that internal disagreements or administrative notes do not by themselves amount to “proved misbehaviour”.

He also discusses the Election Commission’s majority decision-making, the role of dissent and whether the allegations against CEC Gyanesh Kumar can legally form the basis for a removal motion.

Meanwhile, India bloc leaders coordinate fresh move against CEC Gyanesh Kumar.

Momentum is building within the INDIA bloc over the Election Commission row involving Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

Opposition leaders are coordinating a joint strategy, with a meeting and joint press conference reportedly being planned for next week.

A fresh removal motion against Kumar is also being drafted, while Mamata Banerjee and CPM general secretary M.A. Baby have discussed concerns over the Election Commission’s credibility.
