Rahul Gandhi Leads INDIA Bloc Petition Against Election Commission
Rahul Gandhi has filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court challenging the Election Commission of India's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The petition, supported by leaders from the INDIA bloc, alleges irregularities in the voter-roll revision process and seeks the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The petition names the Election Commission and its officials as respondents and demands an independent probe into voter deletions during the SIR. The matter is scheduled for hearing on 13 October. The petition follows a protest march in Delhi, where thousands participated, raising concerns over the electoral process and the conduct of the Election Commission.
