Top leaders of the INDIA bloc are scheduled to meet the President this evening to discuss concerns over the functioning of the Election Commission under CEC Gyanesh Kumar, MP.
New Delhi, Oct 10 (The Times of India) – Senior figures from the INDIA political bloc will convene with the President later today to raise issues related to the performance of the Election Commission. The meeting is set to focus on the functioning of the EC under the current Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar, who also serves as a Member of Parliament.
Sources indicate that the bloc leaders intend to seek clarification on procedural matters and the impartiality of the commission ahead of upcoming electoral events. The President’s office confirmed the appointment of a meeting slot for the evening, but declined to comment on the specifics of the agenda.
Observers note that such high‑level discussions are uncommon and reflect growing political scrutiny of the EC’s role. The outcome of the dialogue could influence public confidence in the electoral process and may shape future legislative or administrative actions concerning the commission.
The meeting is expected to conclude before nightfall, after which statements from both the President’s office and the INDIA bloc are likely to be released.
