Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray led a protest on Sunday, seeking the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The demonstration, known as the Virat Garjana Morcha, commenced at Metro Cinema in South Mumbai and concluded in front of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation headquarters. During the protest, Uddhav Thackeray alleged that 13 crore voters had been removed from the voter rolls during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process.
He stated that the entire country was now protesting against "vote chor." Raj Thackeray demanded that the SIR process be scrapped and that elections should be conducted using ballot papers instead of electronic voting machines. He also questioned the sudden increase in the total number of voters in Maharashtra from 40 lakh to 60 lakh over a six-month period.
