'Vote chori ki raasleela': Youth Congress installs Ravan effigy with CEC Gyanesh Kumar's face
The youth Congress said it will keep protesting until Gyanesh Kumar resigns or is jailed over alleged irregularities in the electoral rolls revision.
- On Monday, Indian Youth Congress members protested in New Delhi against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, burning a Ravan effigy bearing the official's face. The demonstration, titled "Vote Chori Ki Raasleela," targeted the poll panel's handling of electoral revisions.
- IYC president Uday Bhanu Chib demanded Kumar's resignation, claiming he is "finishing off the democracy and Constitution." The organization vowed to continue protests until the commissioner resigns or faces jail time for alleged irregularities in the electoral rolls revision process.
- Separately, the Shri Keshav Ramlila Committee is preparing a 30-foot cockroach effigy for the upcoming Dussehra festival. President Ashok Goel Devaraha said this addition emphasizes the "need to eliminate filth" from society, joining traditional figures like Ravana, Kumbhakarna, and Meghnad.
- Artisan Shahwez Khan told ANI that the cockroach effigy takes about 3-4 days to complete, while traditional effigies require an entire month of work for the Vijayadashami celebration.
- As the city prepares for Vijayadashami, Devaraha stated that burning effigies symbolizes the "triumph of truth over falsehood." Political tensions persist as protesters continue their campaign against the Election Commission.
