Opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and over 300 MPs, protested in Delhi seeking a meeting with Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, accusing him and the BJP leadership of undermining democracy through alleged vote manipulation. Police prevented the group from reaching the Election Commission office, leading to a standoff at Akashvani Bhavan. Rahul Gandhi called the actions treasonous and vowed accountability for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, and Gyanesh Kumar, emphasizing the protest as a defense of democratic principles.
