Amit Kumar

Political commentator Akash Banerjee, on his channel The Deshbhakt, has published an analysis of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, arguing that he holds real power and that Narendra Modi and Amit Shah have no incentive to force him to resign. The piece has drawn heavy engagement, feeding ongoing debate about the independence of India's election commission and the government's influence over it.

Commentary circulating in India is asking whether election commissioner Gyanesh Kumar was 'trapped' by the BJP, with the discussion tying him to senior party figures including Amit Shah and Narendra Modi, and mentioning Arvind Bhadauriya. The claim suggests the commissioner may have been politically compromised or set up by the ruling party. No official response or independent confirmation of the allegation has been reported.
