AAP not part of INDIA bloc, won't attend meeting: Sanjay Singh

Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh stated on Wednesday that his party is not a part of the INDIA bloc and will not participate in the meeting convened to address concerns regarding the Election Commission. Singh further affirmed that the AAP supports the impeachment motion against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and is opposing what he perceives as deficiencies within the Election Commission, ranging from local government to legislative bodies.

It is worth noting that the AAP officially withdrew from the Opposition INDIA bloc on July 18, 2025, with Singh attributing this decision to the alliance's formation for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The meeting currently in session aims to finalize a strategy for a unified protest against alleged malpractices in the Special Intensive Revision process.

Notable attendees include Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, former party leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, AICC secretaries Jairam Ramesh and K.C. Venugopal, Mamata Banerjee from the TMC, and representatives from various other parties. Singh cited that 27 lakh voters in West Bengal were denied the right to vote and questioned the duration required to conclude hearings at tribunals.

He also raised concerns about the expeditious deletion of names from electoral rolls, with an estimated 13.37 crore names removed nationwide. Additionally, Singh raised objections to amendments made to Form 6, used for enrolling names on electoral rolls, asserting these changes were both illegal and unconstitutional. Singh called for support for a planned protest against the Election Commission, emphasizing that electoral rights concern the entire population of the country.
