‘Gyanesh must be removed’: DMK demands CEC’s ouster, backs student protests

The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has formally demanded the removal of the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC), Gyanesh Kumar, citing concerns over the administration of electoral processes. The party has simultaneously expressed its support for ongoing student-led protests related to these grievances.

This development highlights escalating political friction regarding the neutrality and functioning of the Election Commission. By aligning itself with the student movement, the DMK is intensifying its opposition to the current leadership of the electoral body, signaling a broader push for institutional accountability.
