Protests and demonstrations against the Election Commission's SIR process continue to gain momentum across the country. The opposition 'INDIA' bloc has opened active fronts from the national capital to various states, with protests echoing from Patna and Lucknow to Bengaluru. Meanwhile, a viral video capturing the intense political friction has drawn widespread attention online.
In Bihar's capital Patna, opposition leaders led by RJD working president Tejashwi Yadav took to the streets to protest. The march, demanding the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner, witnessed high drama near the state assembly as police and leaders locked horns over heavy barricading.
Multi-City Protests and Sharp Political Attacks
After meeting the Governor, Tejashwi Yadav launched a scathing attack on the ruling NDA government and the poll panel, accusing authorities of high-handedness. Sharing a video of the march, he asserted that the public would no longer tolerate alleged manipulation in electoral processes.
Similarly, in Lucknow and Telangana, opposition leaders and party workers organized rallies to question the SIR voter list revisions. Leaders accused the central administration of undermining democratic institutions, vowing to continue their agitation until their demands are met.
