  "account": "The Opposition has vowed to continue its resistance and fight against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, despite the government's decision to cancel Jantar Mantar's status as an official protest site. Congress Leader of the Opposition (LoP) Mallikarjun Gandhi, who hosted other Opposition leaders for tea to discuss the next steps, emphasized that political and people's resistance would triumph. The leaders present at the meeting expressed their commitment to bring those involved in vote chori (vote theft) to justice. Tejashwi Yadav, from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), and D Raja, from the JMM, both targeted the government's decision to revoke Jantar Mantar's status, stating that the BJP's actions exposed its intolerance for dissent and contempt for constitutional rights. The leaders agreed to continue their fight against the BJP and promised to mobilize their parties and organizations within 24 hours if necessary. The opposition plans to host a mock Parliament session at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan to impeach the CEC, which will be discussed further during the upcoming rally.",
