Mamata Banerjee May Join Friday’s Protest March
Voter revision controversy
The demonstration by the INDIA bloc against the Election Commission has reached its third day.
Opposition party leaders are calling for accountability from Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
Earlier today, Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were seen visiting Rajghat.
Some opposition MPs have also taken part in the demonstration held at the memorial of Mahatma Gandhi.
They have conducted the demonstration for about two hours and paid their respects there.
Later, the leaders left Rajghat after the evening.
In the meantime, the opposition party can plan another protest march for Friday.
According to Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee, Mamata Banerjee is present in Delhi and will join the Friday protest march.
Some senior leaders of the INDIA bloc could also take part in the march.
Before that, Kharge had invited opposition MPs for lunch on Thursday.
Members of Congress, TMC, Samajwadi Party, CPI(M), CPI, and RJD had participated in it.
Later, after taking lunch, the leaders traveled by bus to Rajghat.
Some of the MPs were standing on the bus, waving the national flag.
Moreover, they had also been raising anti-government slogans.
The Delhi Police had enhanced security arrangements around Rajghat and central Delhi.
Security personnel were posted at important places.
In addition to that, barricades had also been set up.
Accusations Of The Government By Rahul Gandhi Against Democracy
Before the Rajghat prayers, Rahul Gandhi had criticized both the Election Commission and the Union government.
According to him, the rights of the opposition MPs were being snatched away democratically.
Rahul Gandhi had also accused the prominent personalities of undermining the Constitution of India.
This was because, according to Rahul, voters’ rights were being threatened.
But these are still the claims by the opposition leaders.
As per Kharge, the leaders prayed for wisdom of the Prime Minister and the Home Minister.
The INDIA bloc started the protest on October 6.
The opposition parties have stated that there is a lack of transparency in the Special Intensive Revision of the electoral roll.
It is also claimed that many eligible voters are being deleted from the voter list.
The opposition demands resignation of Gyanesh Kumar.
However, the Election Commission and the BJP have refuted the charges made by the opposition.
