The opposition INDIA bloc postponed its planned “public impeachment” of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar from October 30 to October 31 because of rain in New Delhi, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said after consultations among alliance leaders.

The symbolic proceedings are scheduled to take place at Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s official residence at 10, Rajaji Marg. Former Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar is expected to preside, Kharge is to introduce the motion, and Gandhi is scheduled to make the concluding remarks before a vote. Representatives of INDIA bloc parties, civil society groups and people whose names were excluded from electoral rolls are also expected to participate.

The opposition alliance has accused Kumar of undermining the electoral process through alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision of voter rolls and has demanded his removal.

The event was moved to Kharge’s residence after Congress said attempts to hold it at the Ashok Hotel and Ramlila Maidan encountered permission-related obstacles. Delhi Police said no separate request for the symbolic impeachment had been received, while permission for a November 1 opposition rally at Ramlila Maidan had been granted subject to conditions.

Gandhi alleged that authorities were trying to prevent people from several states from reaching Delhi for the November 1 rally.
