Communist Party of India (Marxist) national general secretary M.A. Baby on Monday said Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar should resign immediately to protect his self-respect, and warned that clinging to office would be detrimental to him as well as his “bosses”.

Mr. Baby said Mr. Kumar should have already resigned against the backdrop of widespread agitations by Left parties and their frontal organisations, including the Students’ Federation of India and the Democratic Youth Federation of India, as well as other parties and organisations.
