Demanding the removal of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, the registration of a criminal case against him and the complete withdrawal of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, members of the Karnataka Rajya Dalit Sangharsha Samiti staged a protest at Jagat Circle in Kalaburagi city on Friday.

Addressing the protesters, samiti State convenor D.G. Sagar accused the BJP-led Union government of misusing the Election Commission of India (ECI) for political purposes and weakening democratic institutions. The ECI must function independently and ensure free and fair elections without political interference, he added.
