  "account": "On Tuesday, opposition leaders of India's INDIA bloc of parties gathered for high tea to strategize further protests, following thousands of demonstrators marching to the Supreme Court in Delhi. The protest, spearheaded by opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, raised concerns over alleged voter roll manipulation, which has led to the deletion of 130 million voter names under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process. Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, who is under intense public and opposition scrutiny for alleged unilateral decisions, is facing calls for his resignation. The opposition has blamed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the alleged voter roll manipulation, while the Election Commission and BJP deny the allegations. Protesters, including activists and civil society members, expressed their dissatisfaction over the SIR process, claiming it violates the law. The opposition is planning to file a joint petition in the Supreme Court against the SIR and alleged irregularities.",
