Opposition coalition to march in Delhi, seeks Supreme Court chief's intervention over alleged vote theft

On Monday, the INDIA bloc, anchored by the Congress party, will stage a large-scale march in Delhi to protest alleged electoral fraud dubbed "vote chori" by the Modi-Shah administration. Rahul Gandhi warned that the Constitution is being torn apart and called for the Chief Justice of India to act, while Congress general secretary K C Venugopal urged all citizens concerned about democracy to join the demonstration. Senior leaders intend to hand a memorandum to Chief Justice Surya Kant, demanding the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

The protest follows a meeting with President Droupadi Murmu, where the bloc reiterated its demand for the CEC's resignation and the annulment of recent state assembly polls. Previous actions have included a march from Parliament to the Election Commission, an eight-hour sit-in at Akashvani Bhawan, and rallies at Jantar Mantar and Rajghat. The opposition also highlighted internal disagreements within the election commission, noting at least 14 recorded objections by commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi on roll-revision matters.
