00:00The opposition is not going to let the EC controversy go away.
00:04So what we hear from the India Bloc is they're set to move an impeachment motion.
00:08They're going all out against the CEC, Gyanesh Kumar.
00:12The India Bloc to move an impeachment motion against the Chief Election Commissioner
00:16in both houses of the Parliament, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
00:18They are preparing the draft and will give notice for the motion in the next few days.
00:23You hear it first on India Today.
00:25That is what the India Bloc strategy is going to be.
00:28Obviously, sources are suggesting that it is not necessary that the session needs to be on
00:33for the notice of the motion to be moved.
00:35Hence, most likely they can move it as early as next week.
00:38Rahul Gautam, who closely tracks the Congress Party and the opposition,
00:42is joining me for the latest with this information.
00:44Rahul, tell me this.
00:45What kind of an authority that the India Bloc is looking at
00:49that they can move this impeachment motion?
00:51How much of it can make an impact, especially if the session is not really on right now?
01:01Well, Pooja, it's a full-blown political war which is now happening between opposition camp
01:06and obviously the main target of them is CEC, Gyanesh Kumar.
01:10And in that same context, now India Bloc will be moving,
01:14will be bringing impeachment motion against Gyanesh Kumar.
01:18In fact, we already know that there is, and for the same, a draft is being readied
01:24and it is being circulated among members of parliament for need to move impeachment motion.
01:30In both the houses, you need to have 100 Lok Sabha MPs and 50 Rajasabha MPs.
01:35So, therefore, the signatures are being collected.
01:37And sources are also telling us that in order to bring or give notice for impeachment motion,
01:46it is not necessary that the house should be functioning.
01:48And therefore, in all likelihood, in next week,
01:52the notice for bringing impeachment against Gyanesh Kumar would be submitted to both the houses.
01:58So, obviously, it seems that the opposition is only increasing the heat as far as this issue is concerned.
02:04You know, as we speak, I am at Indira Bhawan, which is Congress headquarters.
02:08And shortly from now, Rahul Gandhi will be holding a press conference.
02:12He obviously would be indicting CEC, Gyanesh Kumar.
02:15And as we've been questioning the functioning of the commission as well.
02:18What time, Rahul? We are waiting for the press conference.
02:20So, at what time, how many more minutes to go for Rahul Gandhi's press conference to start?
02:30Well, shortly from now, in fact, all the senior leaders of the communication department are already here.
02:36Jairam Ramesh, Pawan Kheda.
02:39And we're all waiting now only for Rahul Gandhi so that the press conference could begin.
02:43In fact, expect, as we've been told by our sources, that he would not just be, you know, bringing the
02:50facts that were brought in by that particular newspaper.
02:53In fact, he's also going to come up with his own facts and findings, which we all know that how
02:58Rahul Gandhi's team has been collecting pieces,
03:01you know, about the election that were conducted in Maharashtra, in Haryana.
03:05So, expect that Rahul Gandhi will be launching a full throttle attack on CEC and would obviously try to bring
03:11in Union Minister Amish Shah, Prime Minister Narendra Modi,
03:14and would obviously try to corner the government on this issue.
03:17Now, let's review Rahul. We'll be waiting for the press conference on what Rahul Gandhi has to say.
03:21Does he also provide a certain evidence? Will it just be claims against the CEC or the government? We'll be
03:27waiting for that.
