Summary

India's Election Commission faced widespread protests across multiple states beginning September 28, 2026, as the Congress party and allied groups demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The protests centered on objections to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, with Congress alleging the process was illegal and that voters' names were being deleted to benefit Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Demonstrations occurred in numerous states including Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, Bihar, Assam, Punjab, West Bengal, and Himachal Pradesh, with some involving defacement of the CEC's residence in Agra and confrontations with police. Police response included water cannons and detentions of protesters in several locations. The Indian Youth Congress and National Students' Union of India participated in the demonstrations. Reports also referenced internal divisions within the Election Commission, with a newspaper report citing objections raised by Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi. The 'cockroach' youth movement announced plans for further protests on October 2 if Kumar did not resign.
