Congress Leader GV Sri Raj Locks Election Commission Office in Vijayawada

CONNAUGHT PLACE, India - Sept. 28, 2026 - PRLog -- NEW DELHI / RAJAHMUNDRY — Under the call of the All India Congress Committee (AICC), Mallikarjun Kharge, and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, the Congress party has launched a nationwide agitation across all state capitals and district headquarters targeting the offices of the Chief Electoral Officers. The widespread protests come in response to what the party terms derogatory measures and systematic compromises in the national election process.

As part of this intense nationwide campaign, key party leaders, under the instructions of former MP Shri G.V. Harsha Kumar, staged a massive rally. Prominent leader Shri G.V. Sriraj, alongside senior Congress stalwarts and enthusiastic party workers, marched to the Election Commission office to demonstrate their resistance.

During the high-voltage demonstration, Congress workers locked the main entrance door of the Chief Election Commission office using Congress flags and stalls, symbolically shutting down operations to register their outrage. Protesters also pasted posters demanding the immediate resignation and arrest of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar directly onto the main entrance door.

Addressing the gathering, Congress leaders declared that the party will not remain a silent spectator while democratic protocols are violated. They reiterated AICC's demand for an independent judicial inquiry and the immediate removal of CEC Gyanesh Kumar to safeguard the sanctity of Indian democracy.

The AICC has stated that demonstrations and lock-outs will continue across all state headquarters until full accountability and reform in the election procedures are ensured.
