Opposition Rally at Ramlila Maidan Sparks Political Dispute Over Election Oversight
Opposition parties, led by Rahul Gandhi, planned a rally at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan to demand the impeachment of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and raise concerns over the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. Rahul Gandhi accused Home Minister Amit Shah of obstructing protesters from attending, while Shah challenged the opposition to debate the issue in Parliament and criticized the rally's timing. The ruling BJP dismissed opposition claims, calling the event a mockery of democracy, amid ongoing political tensions over electoral oversight.
