Pradeep Bhandari posted a 52‑second clip on Thursday, showing footage from Wednesday’s demonstration in Delhi’s Connaught Place. The footage, he claims, captures Congress workers pushing and kicking police officers while chanting slogans against CEC Gyanesh Kumar. The video, uploaded to the BJP’s official channel, shows a man—identified by the party as Rahul Gandhi—raising his hand and shouting, then pushing a policeman toward a crowd of thousands. The clip also cuts to Priyanka Vadra, who, according to Bhandari, attempts to push an officer, adding a layer of personal confrontation to the protest.
Bhandari blasted the incident as an attempt by the opposition to create "anarchy" reminiscent of Nepal and Bangladesh, citing the "global international forces" allegedly backing Rahul Gandhi. He warned that the protest was part of a broader strategy to pressure the Supreme Court, insisting that the judiciary would remain insulated from street politics. "The Supreme Court has already heard the case, and the protests will not alter its decision," he said, emphasizing the court’s autonomy.
The BJP’s national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia echoed the sentiment at a press conference, framing the clash as a battle between constitutional values and the opposition’s alleged subversion. He praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for upholding the Constitution and accused Rahul Gandhi of undermining democracy. Bhatia added that the opposition’s accusations lacked evidence, labeling them "baseless" and describing them as an irresponsible attempt to tarnish the BJP’s record.
The protest itself drew thousands of voters, many of whom were chanting for electoral reforms and demanding transparency in the Special Intensive Revision of the electoral rolls. Delhi Police detained several protestors, and the case has been filed in the Supreme Court, where a hearing is expected in the coming weeks. The BJP’s counter‑attack is aimed at delegitimising the opposition’s campaign and positioning the party as the guardian of constitutional integrity.
