Protest Against Chief Election Commissioner in Mumbai

Mumbai: On Sunday, Uddhav Thackeray, the leader of Shiv Sena (UBT), along with Raj Thackeray, head of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), spearheaded a protest march in Mumbai aimed at Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

The demonstration saw participation from state leaders of the Congress party and the Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), commencing from Metro Cinema and making its way to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation headquarters located in South Mumbai.

This protest, named the Virat Garjana Morcha (Grand Roar March), was organized to call for the resignation or removal of the Chief Election Commissioner due to alleged discrepancies in the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.
