The 10‑member delegation, whose roster includes Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, Mamata Banerjee, and Rajeev Rai, is set to present its demand to President Murmu in a formal session Friday evening.
The request follows a sustained three‑day sit‑in at Rajghat, where opposition leaders accused the election machinery of a “vote chori” conspiracy involving the Prime Minister and the CEC.
Shiv Sena’s UBT wing confirmed it would not attend the meeting due to prior commitments in Maharashtra, yet pledged full support to the INDIA bloc’s agenda.
Security forces have been reinforced at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, with the Home Ministry deploying 23,000 Central Armed Police Forces to guard the premises between October 8 and 12.
The opposition’s march at 7:15 pm will follow the 6:45 pm meeting, marking a continuation of the protest that has seen leaders like Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra detained during earlier demonstrations.
