During a powerful "Chalo Dilli" rally at the Ramlila Ground, Rahul Gandhi and a coalition of top opposition leaders launched a scathing attack against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The protest, which drew tens of thousands of citizens, centered on allegations that the Election Commission’s recent Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise was a calculated effort to strip 130 million voters—largely from Muslim and marginalized communities—of their democratic rights. Gandhi openly declared that the Constitution is under siege and demanded that Kumar resign and face legal consequences for what he termed the "theft" of the 2024 general election results.

The Election Commission and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party have dismissed these claims, describing the electoral roll revision as a standard administrative process to remove invalid entries like deceased or relocated individuals. However, the opposition remains unconvinced, pointing to the slim vote-share margin between the NDA and INDIA blocs to argue that the mass deletion of names significantly skewed the outcome of the recent polls. As thousands of protesters filled the streets with slogans calling for the protection of their voting rights, the event highlighted deepening tensions in India’s political landscape regarding the autonomy of its electoral institutions and the future of its democratic framework.
