The Leaflet

THE  MEMBERS OF  Parliament of the INDIA Janbandhan (People’s Alliance)  representing over 60% of the population of India and citizens assembled in New Delhi on October 31, 2026, affirming their firmest commitment to universal adult franchise as enshrined in Article 326 of the Constitution of India that is under the gravest threat by the actions of the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC), Mr. Gyanesh Kumar,  hereby resolve that he be impeached on the following charges:

Charge I: The Chief Election Commissioner, Mr. Gyanesh Kumar, has overseen and participated in a devious and malevolent criminal conspiracy orchestrated by the BJP to steal National and State elections. He has willingly broken the rule of law by allowing them to access voter rolls, to delete and add voters at will and manipulate the outcome of the elections. He is guilty of operationalizing a premeditated attack on the electoral process that is the very foundation of India’s democracy. This is a criminal act and an act of treason against the nation and the Constitution of India.

 Charge II: The Chief Election Commissioner, Mr. Gyanesh Kumar, is directly responsible for a manipulated, truncated and destructive Special Intensive Revision of the Electoral Rolls. He has ensured the intentional deletion of 13.2 crore voters, depriving them of the fundamental right to vote guaranteed to them by the Constitution of India, in a manner that is partisan, opaque and flagrantly violative of natural justice. This is a criminal act and an act of treason against the nation and the Constitution of India.

Charge III: The Chief Election Commissioner, Mr. Gyanesh Kumar, is guilty of illegally, without Parliamentary oversight or knowledge, having amended Form 6 of the Registration of Electors’ Rules, 1960, thereby entering into a criminal conspiracy to prevent the enrollment of first-time voters and stealing from them the fundamental right to vote guaranteed by the Constitution of India effectively negating their rights as citizens of India. This is an act of treason against the nation and the Constitution of India.

Charge IV: The Chief Election Commissioner, Mr. Gyanesh Kumar, is guilty of illegally centralizing control over the electoral rolls in the ECI, through the malicious use of the ERONET/ECINET software, with the aim to delete voters and to prevent local ERO’s from adding legitimate voters. This is a criminal attempt to tamper with the process of free and fair elections upon which the democratic framework of India is founded. It is an act of treason against the nation and the Constitution of India.

Charge V: The Chief Election Commissioner, Mr. Gyanesh Kumar, is guilty of having willfully violated the law along with seven associates in the Election Commission of India while deliberately and unlawfully excluding the other two Election Commissioners from decision making, prompting them to place no less than 14 objections on record. This is a clear infringement of the mandate of the Election Commission as laid down by the Constitution of India and an act of treason against the nation and the Constitution of India.

Charge VI: The Chief Election Commissioner, Mr. Gyanesh Kumar, has breached his constitutional mandate to act in an independent capacity to ensure free and fair elections and uphold the Constitution of India. He has repeatedly attacked the opposition, denied it hearing, locked the Election Commission of India to prevent leaders from pleading their case and watched in silence as opposition leaders were illegally disqualified, prevented from fighting elections and brutally assaulted on the streets outside his office. In return for this shameful compliance with the ruling BJP, several of Mr. Gyanesh Kumar’s family members have received benefits and considerations including by way of plum postings and unprecedented opportunities for remuneration. By acting brazenly against his constitutional mandate at the behest of the Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi and Home Minister, Mr. Amit Shah, Mr. Gyanesh Kumar has betrayed the trust and faith of the Indian people. He has willfully undermined the rule of law and participated in a criminal conspiracy to manipulate and falsify the results of democratically held elections that are the bedrock of India’s democracy. These are acts of treason against the nation and the Constitution of India.

In the light of the above facts, it is clear that lifelong legal protection provided to the Chief Election Commissioner Mr. Gyanesh Kumar by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government in December 2023, were intended as a cover for the criminal activities enacted by him against the nation and the Constitution of India and that he must be removed forthwith.

The Members of Parliament of the INDIA Janbandhan representing over 60% of the population of India and citizens assembled in New Delhi on October 31, 2026, resolve that for this gross betrayal of the people of India the Chief Election Commissioner Mr. Gyanesh Kumar, must be tried for treason in a court of law in accordance with the legal framework of the Constitution of India.
