INDIA Bloc Leaders March to Raj Ghat Demanding CEC Resignation

The demonstration follows a series of confrontations with authorities after opposition MPs attempted to march to Nirvachan Sadan on Tuesday and rallied near Jantar Mantar on Wednesday. Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal described the sit-in as a symbolic stand for democratic integrity, framing the struggle as a fight to protect the electoral process from external interference. Opposition figures have accused the government of orchestrating a conspiracy to manipulate voter rights, with Rahul Gandhi explicitly alleging a coordinated effort by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and the RSS leadership to undermine the Constitution.

Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu argued that the current electoral controversy represents a direct assault on the fundamental rights of citizens, warning that public trust in the Election Commission has eroded beyond repair. While the government remains silent on the specific accusations, opposition leaders have vowed to continue their agitation. Rahul Gandhi asserted that those responsible for what he termed 'vote chori' or vote theft would eventually be brought to justice, signaling that the alliance intends to keep the pressure on the Election Commission throughout the ongoing political standoff.
