INDIA Bloc to hold mega rally against CEC, SIR today; leaders, supporters begin arriving in Delhi | LIVE
INDA bloc's 'public impeachment' of CEC Gyanesh Kumar featured accounts from voters who alleged that their names had been deleted from electoral rolls
The INDIA bloc is set to hold a massive protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar in Delhi's Ramlila Maidan on Sunday, November 1, 2026. The rally, organized by the opposition, comes in response to allegations of electoral irregularities and calls for Gyanesh Kumar's resignation. The bloc recently conducted a symbolic "public impeachment" of Gyanesh Kumar, adopting a motion unanimously and charging him with six offenses, including conspiring with the ruling BJP to manipulate elections, deleting 13.2 crore voters during the special intensive revision (SIR) of voter lists, and acting under the influence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge demanded Gyanesh Kumar's immediate removal and the repeal of the 2023 law granting immunity to the Chief Election Commissioner, accusing the CEC of working under the direction of the Modi government. The rally is expected to draw opposition leaders and supporters from various states, as well as student groups and civil society organizations, for a march from Minto Road to Ramlila Maidan and a subsequent rally.
