INDIA bloc leaders will go to Supreme Court and file petition against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and alleged “vote chori” (vote theft) at 3 pm on Monday, said Congress MP and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi.
The INDIA bloc of Opposition has called for a march from Connaught Place to the Supreme Court to protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The march comes after two consecutive days of heightened security and detentions across Delhi over the planned Jantar Mantar protest of Abhijeet Dipke-led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). Police have barricaded roads leading to Jantar Mantar and deployed personnel at key intersections to prevent protesters from gathering at the designated protest site.
Addressing a press conference at Indira Bhawan on Monday over the allegations of election irregularities on Gyanesh Kumar, Rahul Gandhi opened the planned INDIA bloc march to Supreme Court for everyone to join, “even if a person from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) wants to”. Rahul Gandhi also claimed that 200 officers from the Narendra Modi-led government is “in touch” with the Opposition, “passing on information”.
