Hundreds of AAP workers and members of its student organization ASAP gathered at India Gate to voice opposition against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, intensifying political pressure on the election authority. The demonstration saw activists blocking vehicles transporting detainees, disrupting traffic in the high-profile central Delhi location.
Protestors chanted slogans including "Vote thief, leave the post," expressing their grievances against the poll chief's conduct. The AAP has intensified its campaign against Kumar in recent weeks, alleging electoral malpractices and demanding his immediate removal from office.
The demonstration reflects growing political tensions in Delhi ahead of upcoming electoral processes. The AAP, which governs the National Capital Territory, has previously criticized the Election Commission's functioning and alleged bias in electoral management. Monday's protest marks another escalation in the party's public campaign against Kumar.
