The INDIA bloc plans a meeting on September 30 in New Delhi to discuss concerns over the Election Commission of India and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Opposition parties aim to coordinate their response amid reported disagreements within the Election Commission. Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav will miss the meeting due to prior commitments, with a senior party member attending instead. The Indian Youth Congress has also staged protests demanding action related to the Chief Election Commissioner, with some demonstrations met by police response.
