Rahul Gandhi Leads Opposition Protest Demanding Election Commissioner's Resignation
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi led a protest with over 300 Opposition MPs against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, demanding his resignation over concerns about the Special Intensive Revision exercise. Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, and Kumar of undermining democracy and alleged 'vote chori' (vote theft), calling it treason. He welcomed legal cases against him, stating he wanted 100 FIRs, calling each a 'medal'. Police detained several leaders during the protests, which continued at Jantar Mantar after being stopped near the Election Commission office.
