Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar would be removed from his post and jailed over alleged electoral irregularities, warning that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah would also face legal action over the issue, news agency PTI reported.

Addressing an Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc rally at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi against alleged electoral irregularities and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, Gandhi described the 2024 Lok Sabha elections as "illegal" and alleged that votes had been stolen through electronic voting machines (EVMs) and changes to electoral rolls.
