Youth Congress Stages Unusual Protest in Delhi With CEC’s Photo on Ravana Effigy

The Youth Congress staged an unusual protest in Delhi by placing a photograph of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar on an effigy in place of Ravana and setting it on fire. The protest was captioned “Gyanesh Bro Lanka Dahan.” Through the demonstration, Youth Congress members expressed their opposition to the CEC and conveyed their dissatisfaction with his role. The protest drew attention because of its symbolic use of Ravana’s effigy during the demonstration.

The Youth Congress demanded that CEC Gyanesh Kumar resign from his position. The organisation also shared a video of the protest on its social media accounts. The incident comes amid political criticism and disagreements over the functioning of the Election Commission and electoral processes. Any official response from the Election Commission regarding the demonstration remains to be ascertained.
