CEC Row: Oppn Protests Against CEC Gyanesh Over SIR, But Ally TVK Stays Away From Resignation Demand

Across the national capital and various states, the INDIA bloc has mounted street demonstrations demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. However, ally TVK has remained conspicuously absent from protests in Delhi and Chennai. While TVK reiterated its objection to SIR and condemned Rahul Gandhi's detention, the party has avoided backing the demand for the CEC's resignation. The stance highlights a balancing act within the alliance, as TVK maintains a measured distance despite protests led by coalition partner Congress and opposition groups in Tamil Nadu.
