Thousands rally in New Delhi to demand India’s election chief resign
Hundreds of police, some carrying batons and shields, are deployed around the rally site.
Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge denounced several BJP governments across India, including at the national level, alleging they were installed through fraudulent means. In a speech at the INDIA bloc rally at Ramlila Maidan in New Delhi, Kharge called for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's removal to safeguard democracy. Kharge further accused Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah of shielding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
He stated that Modi and Shah have sought to suppress the votes of Dalits, youth, and women, implying Modi intends to strip these demographics of their voting rights through his associates. Kharge vowed to continue fighting until Modi's departure from office.
