INDIA Bloc March, Supreme Court Petition Filed Over Voter Deletions, CEC Accountability

Opposition leaders and members of parliament from the INDIA bloc carried out a major protest march towards the Supreme Court in the national capital, prompting a heavy security deployment and water cannons on standby. Led by Rahul Gandhi, eleven alliance leaders moved the top court against alleged mass deletion of voters, naming the Election Commission of India, the Chief Election Commissioner, and two Election Commissioners as respondents. Senior leaders including Priyanka Gandhi, Akhilesh Yadav, Revanth Reddy, and Tejashwi Yadav joined supporters on the streets demanding accountability from poll authorities. The protest followed correspondence from the Chief Justice of India stating the court remains open for citizens to submit petitions. While Rahul Gandhi's legal team filed the plea inside the Supreme Court ahead of a scheduled hearing, police barricades at Mandi House restricted movement, prompting a large demonstration across central Delhi before the march concluded.
