INDIA Bloc Marches to Supreme Court Demanding CEC Resignation

The protest drew a high-profile assembly, including Mamata Banerjee, Tejaswi Yadav, and Akhilesh Yadav, who argue that the recently concluded Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process in Uttar Pradesh was marred by widespread errors and double-registered votes. Congress leader Sachin Pilot characterized the current electoral oversight as unconstitutional, accusing the government of using police force to suppress peaceful dissent rather than addressing claims of electoral fraud.

Inside the court complex, a delegation of ten leaders, including CPI General Secretary D. Raja, intended to formally sign and submit the petition. Samajwadi Party leaders echoed these sentiments, alleging that the Election Commission has abandoned impartiality to operate at the behest of the ruling BJP. While security forces maintained a heavy presence along the route, the opposition bloc vowed to sustain the pressure until their demands for accountability and the removal of the CEC are met.
