Opposition INDIA Bloc Plans September 30 Meeting on Election Commission ConcernsPreviousNext

Amid concerns over Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, opposition INDIA bloc parties plan to meet in Delhi on September 30 to coordinate their response. This development has prompted unprecedented communication between West Bengal rivals Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress and the CPI(M). Opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, are expected to discuss demands for Kumar's removal and strategies addressing the Election Commission's functioning and electoral process credibility.
