Rahul warns of Indian govt’s fall if opposition keeps up pressure over CEC

Rahul Gandhi on Friday suggested that the Modi government could collapse if the opposition sustains its recent pressure, arguing that the issue extends beyond Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar to the need to remove the government itself.

Addressing INDIA bloc MPs in the Central Hall of Samvidhan Sadan, the Congress leader said the protests had shaken the government’s foundations and left it fearful, The Telegraph reported.

"There is a much deeper problem than Gyanesh Kumar and it requires termination of this current government," the leader of opposition in Lok Sabha said.

"If we continue to push the way we have in last three-four days, I guarantee this government will fall," the former Congress chief said.
