The Indian Youth Congress installed hoardings in central Delhi to escalate its ongoing campaign demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities during the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.
The newly installed hoardings feature the slogan “Shiv ki Baraat” (Lord Shiva’s wedding procession). This imagery builds on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s invocation of Lord Shiva’s “tandav” to signal an intensification of the political challenge against the Chief Election Commissioner.
Opposition leaders and the INDIA bloc have protested against the Special Intensive Revision exercise, alleging that the Election Commission's functioning and handling of voter list revisions have undermined the credibility of the electoral process.
