NCP(SP) MLA Rohit Pawar Attacks CEC Gyanesh Kumar, Seeks EVM Abolition

NCP(SP) MLA Rohit Pawar accused Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar of representing the central government rather than the people, calling for his removal and the abolition of EVMs. He criticised the 2023 law excluding the Chief Justice of India from the selection panel and demanded rollback of immunity for top poll officials. The remarks follow a report that two Election Commissioners raised objections 14 times over SIR procedures.
