From Streets To Supreme Court: CEC Gyanesh Kumar Faces The Heat | Brass Tacks With Nabila Jamal

The controversy surrounding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar has moved from street protests to the Supreme Court. The top court on Monday issued notice to the Election Commission and other respondents on pleas challenging alleged unilateral decision-making during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, while refusing to pass an interim order suspending Kumar. With protests demanding the CEC’s resignation, allegations over decisions taken without the approval of the other Election Commissioners, and the Supreme Court seeking responses from the poll panel, questions over the functioning and accountability of the Election Commission are intensifying. On Brass Tacks With Nabila Jamal, we examine the allegations against CEC Gyanesh Kumar, the political battle over SIR, the Supreme Court’s intervention and what the latest developments mean for India’s electoral process. n18oc_indian18oc_brass-tacksNews18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube
