The INDIA bloc has announced a protest at Bengaluru's Freedom Park on November 5 against the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Following a large rally in Delhi on November 1, the opposition alliance demands scrapping the SIR exercise, Kumar's resignation, and reforms in appointing the Chief Election Commissioner. The protest will be followed by demonstrations at district and taluk levels across Karnataka, with leaders alleging misuse of constitutional institutions by the BJP and RSS.
