Rajya Sabha chairman rejects impeachment motion against poll body chief Gyanesh Kumar The 10-page-long notice carried a chargesheet on seven counts. The charges ranged from partisan conduct of CEC to mass disenfranchisement of voters. The opposition had also raised the issue of the way CEC handled SIR in previous elections like Bihar and forthcoming elections in states like West Bengal; his "proved misbehaviour"; his partial conduct towards a political party are also issues that find a mention in the notice. #Rajya_Sabha #Gyanesh_Kumar #impeachment_motion #poll_body #chief_Gyanesh #Sabha_chairman #chairman_rejects #rejects_impeachment #body_chief #notice_carried
