The INDIA bloc leaders, supported by members from various parties including the SP, TMC, CPI(M), and BJD, occupied the premises of the AIR broadcasting organization for several hours. They were eventually released later in the evening. Their protest came in response to allegations of electoral malpractice and the alleged \"hijacking\" of the country.",
