The Jharkhand branch of the Indian National Congress staged a public observance labelled ‘Black Day’ to protest recent developments it deems unacceptable. Party leaders and supporters gathered at a designated venue, unfurling banners and delivering statements that highlighted their grievance.

During the event, the Congress delegation issued a formal demand for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Kumar, asserting that his continued tenure undermines the integrity of the electoral process in the state. The demand was presented in a written petition circulated among party officials.

Congress officials indicated that the protest is part of a broader strategy to press for institutional accountability, and they signalled intent to pursue further political and legal avenues if their call is not heeded.
