The Tripura Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) observed a ‘Black Day’ on Tuesday, calling for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The party said the CEC’s conduct had eroded public confidence in the electoral system.
TPCC leaders and supporters gathered in Agartala, marching with black flags and chanting slogans demanding accountability. The protest highlighted concerns over alleged irregularities in the state’s voting procedures.
The call for resignation comes amid growing scrutiny of the Election Commission at the national level, with opposition parties demanding greater transparency and independent investigations.

The TPCC’s move signals a broader push by opposition parties to hold electoral authorities accountable and to restore faith in India’s democratic processes.
