Opposition Protests Election Commission Amid Allegations of Voter Roll Irregularities
Opposition parties, led by Rahul Gandhi, are protesting alleged electoral irregularities and demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation, citing concerns over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls and 'vote chori' claims. The BJP and government officials reject these allegations, defending the Election Commission's integrity and accusing the opposition of spreading misinformation to destabilize democracy. Public opinion appears divided, with debates over institutional trust and the effectiveness of the opposition's campaign continuing ahead of a major rally in Delhi.
