CJI to address press conference on democracy concerns as poll body faces criticism

The Chief Justice of India has cancelled its scheduled programmes for Thursday, September 24, 2026, to address a press conference in Delhi. The CJI's leadership will speak on the issue of "Hijacking of India's Democracy" at noon.
The move comes as Election Commission of India Chief Gyanesh Kumar faces criticism over electoral administration matters. The CJI's intervention signals judicial concern over governance of democratic institutions.
