INDIA Bloc Protests Demand Chief Election Commissioner's Resignation Over Electoral Roll Disputes
Opposition INDIA bloc leaders, led by Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, have staged multiple protests across India demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Protests included sit-ins at Raj Ghat, marches in various states, and plans to meet President Droupadi Murmu. The bloc alleges 'vote chori' and electoral manipulation, while BJP leaders criticize the protests and question the opposition's faith in judicial processes. The opposition awaits the President's response amid ongoing demonstrations and legal actions.
