The Opposition INDIA bloc is weighing impeachment against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar after he dismissed Rahul Gandhi’s voter fraud claims as misleading, demanding proof or apology.

Meanwhile, the NDA has fielded Maharashtra Governor CP Radhakrishnan as its Vice Presidential candidate after Jagdeep Dhankhar’s resignation, with the INDIA bloc likely to back DMK’s Tiruchi Siva.

In Karnataka, seven crest gates of the Tungabhadra dam failed, forcing authorities to release 90,000 cusecs and sparking fears of flood across three states.
