The bloc, comprising 19 opposition parties, convened on September 30 to strategize their united front against the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls.
The INDIA bloc demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and CEC Gyanesh Kumar, citing alleged interference in the electoral process and violation of democratic norms.
The bloc's joint agenda included demanding the use of pre-SIR electoral rolls in future elections, bolstering transparency in every electoral roll revision, ensuring due notice and an effective appeal mechanism for eligible voters, replacing Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) with ballots, seeking institutional accountability, and enforcing a blanket immunity lifer for CEC/EC. Additionally, the bloc sought an appointment with President Droupadi Murmu to highlight the assault on the Constitution.
The rally schedule included district-wide "Save Democracy" marches from October 2 to 8, with the first public meeting planned for November 1, 2026. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge announced that the rallies would serve as a platform to inform the nation about the government's unconstitutional actions targeting voters and constitutional rights.
The opposition parties agreed to target the ECI and CEC Gyanesh Kumar in their coordinated protest program, emphasizing their commitment to safeguarding India's democratic fabric.
