The Students' Federation of India (SFI) in Tripura has demanded that Chief Electoral Officer Gyanesh Kumar resign, alleging that his actions undermine democratic rights.
The Students' Federation of India (SFI) in the state of Tripura has formally called for the resignation of Chief Electoral Officer (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, citing concerns that his conduct is eroding democratic safeguards.
SFI leaders allege that Kumar has taken actions that restrict the rights of voters and candidates, thereby compromising the integrity of the electoral process. The federation claims that these measures have led to a climate of fear and uncertainty among the electorate.
The CEC’s role is to oversee elections and ensure they are conducted fairly and transparently. Critics argue that any deviation from these principles can undermine public trust in democratic institutions.
No official response from the Election Commission or the CEC has been issued yet, leaving the demand from SFI to remain a point of contention in Tripura’s political landscape.
