Congress workers launched a foot march and surrounded the office of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar in Sehore, leading to clashes with police.
Congress activists gathered in Sehore and began a coordinated foot march that culminated in a tight encirclement of the premises where Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar was scheduled to appear. The demonstrators raised slogans demanding greater transparency in the upcoming electoral process and accused the CEC of bias.
The march proceeded along the main thoroughfare, with participants forming a human chain around the building. Several banners and placards highlighted the party's call for an independent oversight mechanism for elections.
Police units arrived to disperse the crowd, resulting in a brief scuffle between officers and protesters. While no serious injuries were reported, the confrontation heightened the already tense political atmosphere in the district.
Local officials noted that the protest reflects growing dissatisfaction among opposition parties ahead of the next state elections, and they urged both sides to maintain calm.
