Union Home Minister Amit Shah has challenged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to an open debate on Special Intensive Revision (SIR), Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and allegations of vote theft. Shah defended the government's electoral reforms during a BJP rally in Hyderabad and criticised the INDIA bloc's ongoing protests against the Election Commission.

The INDIA bloc is set to organise a public impeachment-style programme against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar at Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s residence in New Delhi on October 30. The event is part of the opposition's campaign against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and precedes its November 1 rally at Ramlila Maidan.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and senior BJP leaders criticised Congress after it failed to win any of the seats it contested in the latest Legislative Council elections across four states. The results, delivered through ballot-paper voting, renewed the political dispute over EVMs, alleged electoral irregularities and the opposition’s demand for changes to the voting system.

The Election Commission of India has filed a comprehensive counter-affidavit before the Supreme Court, strongly defending the integrity of its nationwide Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process and refuting allegations of unilateral procedural changes.

The Congress says the INDIA bloc’s November 1 rally in New Delhi will demonstrate opposition unity and strengthen its campaign against alleged electoral irregularities and “vote chori,” framing the protest as a fight to protect democracy.

Electoral rolls are essential to the voting process, but their preparation must balance accurate records with the inclusion of every eligible voter. Understanding registration, corrections and grievance procedures helps citizens participate more confidently in elections.

The Cockroach Janta Party and opposition factions prepare for fresh demonstrations over Special Intensive Revision rolls and administrative accountability at the Election Commission.

Protests continued across Delhi after leaders of the Gen Z-led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) were released from detention. The movement is demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation over alleged voter-roll irregularities linked to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), while authorities face scrutiny over detentions, transport restrictions and internet curbs.

Opposition leaders are preparing to march to the Supreme Court on October 12 to protest alleged electoral-roll irregularities and demand Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation. Security has been tightened in Delhi, six metro stations are set to restrict access temporarily, and the Delhi High Court is scheduled to hear a plea challenging the closure of Jantar Mantar.

Cockroach Janta Party leaders Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das reached Delhi’s Parliament Street police station on October 12 to seek a fresh date for a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The move comes amid continuing demonstrations over alleged electoral-roll irregularities linked to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), heightened security in the capital and a planned opposition march to the Supreme Court led by Rahul Gandhi.

Hundreds of protesters were detained in Delhi during demonstrations demanding action against CEC Gyanesh Kumar over concerns surrounding the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. AISA, opposition parties and civil society groups joined the protests, while the Election Commission maintains that voter-list revision is part of its statutory responsibilities.
