INDIA Bloc to Meet on Election Commission Controversy and SIR Roll RevisionPreviousNext

The INDIA bloc is set to meet in New Delhi on September 30 to discuss concerns over the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and to consider a motion for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's removal. Key opposition leaders, including Congress's Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, Trinamool Congress's Mamata Banerjee, and others, are expected to attend. The Aam Aadmi Party and DMK will skip the meeting, while Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav will be absent due to prior commitments. The bloc plans coordinated protests and parliamentary action amid allegations of electoral irregularities.
