Leaders from the INDIA bloc gathered at Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge's residence in New Delhi for a strategy meeting to plan a public impeachment of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The venue was relocated to Kharge's official residence after permissions were reportedly denied for earlier locations, including Hotel Ashoka. The planned public proceedings are structured to reflect parliamentary functioning, with former Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar expected to preside over the session. The meeting was attended by senior opposition figures, including Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Derek O'Brien, Jairam Ramesh, and John Brittas. Leaders highlighted that representatives from opposition parties and civil society will participate, with motions to be moved and discussed by the Leaders of Opposition from both Houses. The opposition continues to target the Election Commission over electoral integrity concerns ahead of a planned mega rally.

00:00In fact, the opposition will be launching public impeachment of the Chief Election Commissioner tomorrow.
00:05India Bloc leaders arrive at Kharge's house, Kharge's house venue for anti-CEC show of strength.
00:13So earlier the venue was Hotel Ashoka, but since they did not get the permission,
00:18so now the venue has been changed to Malik Arjun Kharge, the Congress Chief's residence.
00:22And currently there's a crucial strategy meeting of the opposition underway at Kharge's residence.
00:29The opposition has escalated vote-chori war despite Congress debacle in the MLC poll.
00:35So big capital showdown likely tomorrow.
00:38Closed-door strategy meeting is currently underway at Congress Chief's house.
00:42My colleague Moshmi Singh is in fact joining us from Malik Arjun Kharge's residence.
00:48Moshmi, give us the latest update on the meeting, what is being discussed in this meeting,
00:52and also what is the motive behind this impeachment motion, public impeachment of the Chief Election Commissioner
01:00that will be done by the opposition tomorrow?
01:07So, we are told that this is going to be a public affair, not only a parliamentary affair.
01:14There will be members of parliaments from the India Bloc, also members of the civil society.
01:20Priyanka Gandhi has been raking this venue for the past two days as far as the arrangements are concerned.
01:29There will be a resolution against the CEC that will be passed, and so there is a meeting that is
01:37taking place
01:38between all the India Bloc leaders, representatives of the India Bloc, and also the Congress leaders
01:46who are deciding the schedule, apparently three hours of session from 3.30 to 6.30 is on the cards,
01:55and that will be a very attacking political and aggressive session in terms of, you know,
02:02cornering and questioning the demeanor and the functioning of the CEC.
02:09It will be targeting the CEC, targeting CEC Gyanesh Kumar, that he has acted arbitrarily,
02:16and that will be mentioned in the resolution as well.
02:19We are told that perhaps a mock impeachment is also being readied in terms of enacting it out,
02:28though we have to really find out the details are not official yet out.
02:34Interestingly, you know, Rahul Gandhi is going to meet beat reporters today at 4 p.m.,
02:41and that is quite interesting because, apart from holding press conferences,
02:47this has not happened for a while.
02:49So, just before the mega rally on 1st November, in the middle of the entire dharna politics
02:58and the guerrilla warfare that Rahul Gandhi is indulging in,
03:03somewhere he is shifting gears as far as his, you know,
03:07keeping away from journalists and targeting.
03:12Right, Moshmi, do stay with us.
03:15In fact, Congress MP Marikam Tagore is speaking.
03:17Let's listen in.
03:26We have decided it would be a, it would not be, it would not be a mock impeachment.
03:34It would be the reflection of the aspirations of the people.
03:37We will have a proper impeachment process with a presiding officer there,
03:41former Speaker of Lok Sabha, Mira Kumarji, will be presiding over it.
03:45And representatives from different parties will speak.
03:48LOP Raji Saba would move the motion,
03:51and discussion would be summed up by LOP Lok Sabha.
03:55There will be representatives from the civil society,
03:57and the victims of SIR also will come and tender the revidences.
04:01You will be speaking in the treasury benches also, sir, as a treasury benches,
04:05because if there is a public...
04:06Nobody wants to be part of treasury bench in the current political scenario,
04:11because the treasury bench is seen as the benches which are supporting Ganesh Kumar.
04:17So nobody wants to be seen as supporting Ganesh Kumar.
04:20And how do you see, sir, yesterday the BJP president was there,
04:25and he attended the march also, save democracy, stop, remove anarchy.
04:30Yes, yes, yes, very good.
04:31I want him to, I mean, lead lot of marches to save democracy.
04:35Now, even BJP themselves feel that the democracy needs to be saved.
04:39Very good. They should do it.
04:45All right, so that was John Britta, CPM MP,
04:48who can also be seen in this strategy meeting,
04:50which was underway at Malik Arjun Kargay's residence,
04:53in which Priyanka Gandhi can be seen with Derek O'Brien,
04:56and several other senior opposition leaders.
04:58In fact, former Lok Sabha speaker Meera Kumar can be also seen,
05:02along with Jairam Ramesh.
05:03So they are strategizing on the public impeachment of CEC.
05:08Let's also listen in to what Gaurav Gogo is saying.
05:10This is what Gaurav Gogo is saying.
05:14So by accident, here in the public,
05:17it's the response to the people.
05:17we're feeling that he can be killed by this land,
05:18one of whom we're seeing here in the public,
05:23and once again,
05:23let's see what it means to be done to listen to,
05:26but everyone is listening to that.
05:30We're having to do this.
05:32And all of that,
05:34this is the kind of TV show.

06:08should be the same.
06:09And Bhajpah now, Bhajpah is in their defense, Bhajpah has a company, because they have
06:18found out that they have broken their own.
