Congress Accuses Election Commission of Electoral Manipulation Amid Protests
K.C. Venugopal, AICC general secretary, claimed that Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar would soon resign amid ongoing protests over alleged electoral malpractice. During a rally in Kozhikode on November 7, 2026, he accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah of undermining the Congress party and manipulating election outcomes. Venugopal highlighted a narrow loss in the Haryana Assembly election and alleged large-scale vote theft in multiple states. He also claimed that 13.32 crore voters had been deleted from electoral rolls, threatening citizens' voting rights and access to government benefits. Venugopal warned against using police to suppress protests, framing the movement as a fight for democratic freedoms.
