Opposition bloc mobilizes march to Election Commission in New Delhi

Security personnel from the Rapid Action Force have taken up positions near Akashvani and the ECI headquarters at Nirvachan Sadan. Opposition MPs plan to gather at Makar Dwar by 10:30 AM before proceeding toward the commission, marking a high-profile escalation in their 'Save Democracy' campaign. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh confirmed the march, noting that the protests will expand into district-level pad-yatras and public meetings through October 8.

The political tension centers on allegations that Kumar acted illegally regarding Form 6 revisions. Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition, publicly accused the commissioner of abusing his office, stating that those involved in these processes will be held accountable. While the Aam Aadmi Party has opted to pursue its own strategy independent of the coalition march, the broader opposition front remains unified in its demands for systemic reform.

Following Tuesday’s protest, the Congress party plans to launch a nationwide 'Vote Bachao, Desh Bachao' campaign on October 10. K.C. Venugopal described the movement as a long-term, aggressive effort to secure the removal of the current CEC, labeling the poll body a 'Cheating Commission of India' and dismissing its recent public defenses as misleading.
