The Tripura unit of the Indian National Congress observed a ‘Black Day’ to protest the Chief Election Commissioner’s actions and called for his resignation.
The Tripura branch of the Indian National Congress observed a "Black Day" to voice its dissent against the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC). Party functionaries gathered to highlight what they described as a breach of democratic norms by the election authority.
During the event, Congress leaders publicly demanded the immediate resignation of the CEC, arguing that his continued tenure undermines confidence in the electoral process. The protest was framed as a call for accountability and for safeguarding free and fair elections in the state.
No official response from the Election Commission has been recorded yet, and the Congress has urged other political stakeholders to join its demand for the CEC's removal.
