MARGAO
Margao-based lawyer Adv Radharao Gracias has urged the people of Goa to support the Cockroach Janata Party’s planned agitation demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gynaesh Kumar. Addressing the media, Gracias said the people of Goa should join the agitation, claiming that the names of around 1.27 lakh voters from the state had been deleted from the electoral rolls during the controversial SIR exercise.
He said the 14 objections submitted by the Election Commissioners over the last 10 months showed that Kumar had been involved in deleting voters’ names from the electoral rolls.
“The obvious beneficiary of the deletion of voters is the ruling BJP. It is now for the people to stand up and get the corrections done. The CJP has given a call to the people of the country demanding the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner. It is time the people support the agitation to save democracy,” he added.
