Himanta Sarma Challenges Congress Amid Ongoing Protests in Delhi
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has challenged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to resign from the Kerala government, stating he is ready to hold fresh assembly elections in Assam using ballot papers. This statement comes as the opposition protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar continue. Meanwhile, Delhi Police have registered multiple FIRs related to the opposition's protest in the capital, citing barricade-breaking and graffiti. The protest involved leaders from the INDIA bloc, who filed a petition in the Supreme Court challenging the Election Commission's decisions regarding the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. The police have requested an extension of deployment for 273 companies of Central Armed Police Forces in Delhi until October 20 due to potential further protests.
