Senior Congress leaders from Tripura joined a protest in Delhi, demanding the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC).
Several senior leaders of the Tripura Pradesh Congress Committee travelled to Delhi on Thursday to join a rally that has been ongoing in the capital. The leaders stood alongside other opposition figures, holding placards that read "Resign CEC" and chanting slogans condemning the chief election commissioner.
The protesters alleged that the CEC has shown partiality in recent electoral processes, though no specific incidents were cited during the demonstration. They demanded an immediate resignation, calling for a transparent and impartial election machinery.
Police presence was noted at the protest site, but the gathering remained peaceful, with participants dispersing after a brief address by the Tripura leaders. The Congress party in Tripura has said it will continue to monitor the CEC's actions and pursue legal avenues if necessary.
The Delhi stir is part of a broader opposition movement that has been critical of the Election Commission's recent decisions, especially concerning voter registration and constituency delimitation.
The Tripura Congress has not announced any further actions, but the demand for the CEC's resignation is expected to feature in upcoming political discussions at both state and national levels.
