Congress leader KC Venugopal announced that the INDIA coalition will stage a significant demonstration in Delhi on Monday as part of their ongoing effort to safeguard voting rights and ensure a free and fair election process. During an interview with reporters, Venugopal revealed that the opposition alliance had recently consulted with the President regarding voting rights issues, and they planned to seek guidance from the Chief Justice of India on Monday.
He accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah of attempting to shield Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, claiming their actions would ultimately result in their political demise. Venugopal Criticizes Modi “Prime Minister Modi is acting like a leader on the brink of defeat. He is afraid of the opposition's protests,” Venugopal stated.
The Congress official also claimed that measures like the closure of metro stations were being implemented to manage protester activities. Congress Upholds Concerns Over Electoral Rolls Venugopal disclosed that the Congress had adopted a measured stance when opposing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Kerala.
He also pointed to the controversy surrounding the BJP's election symbol, the lotus, appearing on the Election Commission's letterhead. His comments emphasized the opposition's reservations about the electoral system's operation, with the INDIA coalition aiming to amplify its campaign through protests and meetings with constitutional bodies.
Centre Faces Criticism Over AIIMS Delay Venugopal criticized the Center and the BJP for not approving an All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Kerala. He argued that the Union government's justification for denying Kerala an AIIMS was unfounded, especially when contrasted with other regions that had received such institutions.
Venugopal accused the BJP of ignoring Kerala in its political strategy and suggested that the state's party should dissolve its Keralam unit. Venugopal Remembers 2015 AIIMS Promise Venugopal recalled his parliamentary inquiry in 2015, where he questioned the establishment of an AIIMS in Kerala. He alleged that the then Health Minister had assured him that the institution would be sanctioned the following year.
