Rahul Gandhi lit up the CWC hall on Tuesday, demanding the party act fast to oust Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
The call comes as the SIR process—an accelerated review of electoral disputes—has drawn fire from opposition members who claim it is a tool for the ruling NDA to police elections.
Mallikarjun Kharge, council president, echoed Gandhi’s stance, labeling the CEC a puppet of the Modi government and calling for the prime minister’s resignation on moral grounds.
Party leaders said the motion will be presented at the next national assembly session, where the CEC could be compelled to step down or face a formal inquiry.
A Delhi voter, who had watched the SIR hearings on live TV, told reporters he feared the process would erode trust in the electoral system.
