In a first-of-its-kind move, the I.N.D.I.A-led Opposition bloc is likely to bring an impeachment motion against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar today. According to sources, the Opposition is considering introducing the motion in both Houses of Parliament. Meanwhile, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is scheduled to move the Appropriation Bill, 2026, for introduction, consideration and passing in the Lok Sabha today. The Bill seeks to authorise the payment and appropriation of certain further sums from the Consolidated Fund of India for the services of the financial year 2025-26. The Finance Minister will seek the leave of the House to introduce the Bill and subsequently move that it be taken into consideration and passed, subject to the voting of the Supplementary Demands for Grants for 2025-26.
