On the impeachment motion against the CEC being rejected by the Rajya Sabha Chairman and the Lok Sabha Speaker, Congress leader Nana Patole said, “There was no valid reason for rejecting the notice. The government has to support the Election Commission, and on that basis, both the Rajya Sabha Chairman and the Lok Sabha Speaker rejected the motion. This clearly means that the Narendra Modi government is stifling democracy through the Election Commission and is trying to hide its wrongdoings.”

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut said, “The present Election Commission has been entrusted with one task, and that is to work in favor of the BJP. Gyanesh Kumar has been entrusted with this task because the BJP cannot win in Bengal through democratic means. Therefore, if we have talked about bringing an impeachment motion against him, the government will definitely try to protect him, as it has always been protecting people who undermine democracy and public sentiment. Now we will see what happens in Bengal, how successful the people who are working in favor of BJP or the government are, but I have full confidence that the people of Bengal will not let their plans succeed.
