INDIA Bloc MPs Protest at Election Commission Over Electoral Rolls

TMC MP Saugata Roy spearheaded the demand for the cancellation of the ongoing revision process, accusing the poll panel leadership of compromising institutional integrity. Speaking near the NITI Aayog office, Roy dismissed potential government defenses of the Commissioner, arguing that the scale of voter list disputes renders official narratives irrelevant. Congress MP Syed Nasir Hussain echoed these concerns, calling for a high-level inquiry into what he described as a conspiracy against the democratic franchise.

The demonstration saw high-profile leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, and Supriya Sule, confronting security cordons in Delhi’s high-security zone. Rahul Gandhi escalated the political pressure with a direct social media address to the Commissioner, while Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge accused the government of systematically stripping citizens of their universal adult franchise. The march marks a significant escalation in the opposition's 'Save Democracy' campaign, signaling a deepening confrontation between the INDIA bloc and the poll panel over the transparency of electoral rolls.
