A high-octane political protest unfolded in the capital city of Bihar as the opposition INDIA bloc staged a fierce march against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Led by Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav, leaders marched towards Lok Bhavan to register their strong dissent, prompting heavy police deployment and subsequent detentions.
During the protest, a dramatic moment was captured on camera showing RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav climbing over police barricades alongside VIP chief Mukesh Sahani and RJD MP Misa Bharti. As the situation escalated, police intercepted and detained several prominent opposition leaders to maintain law and order, generating widespread viral traction across social media platforms.
Severe Allegations Against the Election Commission
Prior to the march, addressing supporters near the assembly roundabout, Tejashwi Yadav launched a scathing attack on the ruling dispensation and the poll panel. He alleged that CEC Gyanesh Kumar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Home Minister Amit Shah have undermined Indian democracy through manipulated electoral processes. The opposition leaders asserted that the systemic tampering paved the way for the ruling party's electoral victories.
The core demands of the opposition alliance include the immediate removal of Gyanesh Kumar, transparent answers regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists in Bihar, and the conduct of fresh elections in the state to ensure a level playing field for all political formations.
Escalating Statewide Agitation
This massive demonstration in Patna followed a series of coordinated protests held across Bihar under the 'Gyanesh Hatao, Loktantra Bachao' campaign. Rallies and effigy burnings had previously been organized across blocks and district headquarters, culminating in Thursday's high-stakes confrontation with security forces in the state capital.
