Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress president, moved a symbolic motion against Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar during a mock parliamentary session held on the lawn of his residence in New Delhi on October 31, 2026.
The session, presided over by former Lok Sabha speaker Meira Kumar, was broadcast live on X and called for the removal of 13.2 crore voters from the electoral roll.
BJP spokesperson Guru Prakash Paswan condemned the event as a "mockery" and accused the opposition of stirring confusion.
Ahead of the rally at Ramlila Maidan on November 1, the INDIA bloc announced its support from civil society groups and chief ministers, while AAP declined to join the alliance.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah have not yet responded to the allegations, but opposition leaders say the EC acted under their directives.
The mock impeachment will precede the mass protest, during which the bloc plans to demand a review of the voter rolls and an independent inquiry into the EC's actions.
