  "account": "Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and Congress legislators from Karnataka will join the All India Congress Committee's protest in New Delhi on October 12, 2026, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. This comes in response to alleged irregularities in electoral rolls and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise conducted by the Election Commission of India (ECI). Shivakumar emphasized the Congress' commitment to holding its own protest against the SIR and the Chief Election Commissioner's resignation. He defended the Congress' decision to participate in the protest, stating that it represents the voice of the country, not just a specific political party.",
  "summary": "Asked whether the Congress was supporting the protest by the CJP, Mr. Shivakumar said the party was taking its own course of action, while some INDIA bloc allies had participated in the other protest",
