AAP to skip INDIA bloc meeting on SIR row but will back impeachment motion against CEC: Sanjay Singh
AAP said it will back an impeachment motion against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar while skipping the opposition meeting on electoral-roll irregularities.
- On Wednesday, September 30, 2026, top leaders of the INDIA bloc gathered in New Delhi to finalize a joint agitation strategy against alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
- Controversy intensified after Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi raised objections to SIR procedures at least 14 times over 10 months, fueling opposition claims of alleged "vote loot" regarding electoral roll deletions.
- Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav skipped the meeting due to Rajya Sabha nomination work, while the DMK and the Aam Aadmi Party refused to participate, citing ongoing differences with the Congress regarding alliance strategies.
- Congress general secretary KC Venugopal confirmed the bloc will coordinate a national agitation program, with parties preparing a parliamentary motion seeking removal of Gyanesh Kumar over alleged "illegal" and "unconstitutional" electoral changes.
- The Bharatiya Janata Party dismissed the concerns as political frustration, with Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan alleging the opposition spreads misinformation to hide electoral failures and undermine democratic institutions.
