The delegation, led by Mallikarjun Kharge and joined by Mamata Banerjee, Omar Abdullah and Supriya Sule, arrived at Rashtrapati Bhavan after a march from Parliament House that was halted by police barricades. Kharge told reporters, "We presented our memorandum to the President, outlining the gross subversion of the electoral system."
The memorandum lists four demands: the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, repeal of the 2023 immunity law, suspension of the Special Intensive Revision process, and restoration of 13.3 crore voters illegally deleted from the rolls, plus a return to paper ballots and repeal of recent assembly elections tainted by vote‑theft.
President Murmu did not dismiss the allegations; instead she asked for concrete evidence and said she would convene a committee to review the claims. "The President will carefully examine the evidence and take appropriate action," she added.
The INDIA bloc plans to meet Chief Justice Surya Kant on Monday and submit a memorandum to the Supreme Court. The move follows a series of protests that have shaken the government’s stability and a report that two election commissioners objected to orders related to the SIR process.
Amid the political storm, a 45‑year‑old woman from Uttar Pradesh, who had her name erased from the electoral roll, said she hopes the committee’s findings will restore her right to vote."
