\"\"New Delhi: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi has said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is shielding the Indian Chief Election Commissioner.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, Priyanka Gandhi in a statement in New Delhi said that the BJP government granted this protection to protect the Election Commission from accountability.<\/p>\n

She reiterated the demand for the Chief Election Commissioner’s resignation, noting that the INDIA bloc (an alliance of opposition parties) is united in demanding his dismissal.<\/p>\n

She stated, “The legal protection granted to the Election Commissioner\u2014which the BJP government implemented to ensure immunity regardless of his actions\u2014must be revoked.”<\/p>\n

Priyanka Gandhi asserted that if anyone engages in illegal acts against the country and its Constitution, they should be prosecuted for such criminal conduct, as it amounts to treason.<\/p>\n

She remarked that the BJP government was shielding the Election Commissioner; if an Election Commissioner commits such grave offences against democracy, doing so would be practically impossible without the backing of the incumbent government. Therefore, \u2018we demand the immediate resignation of Gyanesh Kumar; the INDIA bloc is united in the view that current events are entirely illegal and unconstitutional.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
