Opposition protests intensified as Rahul Gandhi and opposition leaders attempted to breach barricades at Akashwani Bhavan while protesting against the Election Commission amid accusations of 'Vote Chori' and multiple detentions.
Rahul Gandhi accused CEC Gyanesh Kumar of vote theft following allegations that 727 out of 728 voter names were struck off in Delhi's Bela Estate despite residents living there for decades, alongside broader concerns over election rigging and electoral roll revisions.
Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi formally objected at least 14 times over 10 months to decisions and orders regarding electoral rolls made without their knowledge.
