Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray has accused the Election Commission and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar of electoral roll irregularities, citing thousands of bogus voters and missing names in Mumbai and Maharashtra.

Ahead of a planned protest by the Cockroach Janta Party in Delhi, train and metro cancellations have raised concerns about restrictions on dissent. Thackeray emphasized opposition unity against alleged electoral misconduct, not against the Congress party.
