Low Turnout at Rally Deals Major Blow to Rahul, Reports Capital TV

The INDIA bloc has commenced its high-profile protest march toward Delhi's historic Ramlila Maidan, featuring prominent opposition figures such as Akhilesh Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav riding in open jeeps. Organized primarily by the Congress party, the demonstration serves as a direct platform to demand the immediate resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. The opposition alliance strongly contends that the poll panel chief must step down, alleging administrative bias and flaws in the electoral process. Meanwhile, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party has strongly condemned the agitation, accusing the opposition coalition of orchestrating politically motivated protests aimed at defaming the nation's democratic institutions for narrow electoral gains. Security arrangements have been beefed up across the national capital to monitor the large-scale political mobilization and prevent any potential law and order disruptions during the march.
