INDIA bloc MPs held a protest march from Parliament Street toward the poll panel's headquarters to protest against the Election Commission. During the demonstration, they were stopped by the police while attempting to meet Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and other officials.

Rahul Gandhi questioned why elected Lok Sabha MPs were blocked by police from meeting CEC Gyanesh Kumar and his subordinates. He criticized the restrictions, asserting there was no valid reason to deny elected representatives a meeting with the poll panel.

The protest followed allegations by Rahul Gandhi accusing Gyanesh Kumar of vote rigging and match-fixing elections, alongside reports of dissent from two other Election Commissioners regarding the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. Gandhi also alleged that 727 out of 728 voter names were wrongfully deleted at Bela Estate in Delhi.
