'We will bring the regime down': Prakash Raj slams Centre over electoral process

Actor and activist Prakash Raj addressed the escalating nationwide protests demanding accountability from the Election Commission of India and the central government. Defending the movement against accusations of inciting anarchy, he asserted, "We will do it democratically, regime change." Raj argued that the agitations, which expanded from initial student demonstrations over exam irregularities to broader questions regarding electoral integrity and Special Intensive Revision, now represent a collective citizen movement backed by civil society and farmer organisations like the Samyukt Kisan Morcha. Responding directly to Union Minister Kiren Rijiju's public remarks, he maintained that seeking answers through democratic means, constitutional rights, and peaceful protest is the duty of citizens. Furthermore, Raj challenged the ruling government to address public allegations openly rather than suppressing dissenting voices, demanding immediate transparency regarding the electoral machinery.
