On Monday, a significant protest emerged in the Parliament House complex as opposition MPs from the INDIA bloc raised their voices against the Election Commission's decision to revise voter rolls in Bihar.
Led by Rajya Sabha Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge, the delegation chanted slogans such as ''vote chor, gaddi chhor'' and ''vote chori band karo,'' calling for electoral integrity and fairness.
Speculation around an impeachment motion against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar is mounting, with Congress leader Naseer Hussain advocating for democratic methods to ensure an unbiased election oversight. The opposition claims the EC's actions could disenfranchise voters ahead of key elections.
