  "summary": "Union Education Minister Pralhad Joshi dismissed opposition-led protests as \"political drama\" and defended the security measures implemented in Delhi ahead of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) rally. Joshi addressed the demonstrations demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, alleging irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The minister emphasized that the government would not stand idly by if there were attempts to disrupt law and order, damage public property, or endanger people. Joshi also defended the Delhi Police's decision to restrict transit services, stating that operational measures would be determined based on security requirements, and accused opposition parties of being unable to accept recent electoral setbacks. Chirag Paswan, a minister from the opposition party LJP (RV), criticized the disruptions to train and metro services, questioning how far the disruptions could go.",
