Opposition leaders from the INDIA bloc have planned a month-long protest calendar demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over allegations of electoral malpractice and vote theft. Demonstrations include planned sit-ins and marches across several locations in New Delhi, including Akashwani Bhavan, Jantar Mantar, Rajghat, and Parliament, alongside a march to Rashtrapati Bhavan. A delegation of ten opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, Mamata Banerjee, Supriya Sule, Manoj Jha, and Omar Abdullah, entered to press their demands, while other party leaders staged sit-in protests at Vijay Chowk.

00:00Okay, I quickly want to cut across and bring in my colleague Piyush Mishra Fomo on this.
00:05Piyush, the opposition is following a strategy, a dharna and a protest and a march to Rashubadi Bhavan
00:12and intensification of dharna over the next several days and weeks.
00:16They have a full dharna calendar, Piyush.
00:23Well, that's right, Gaurav, and they are not going to stop at the resignation of Gyanush Kumar if he resigns.
00:29They have further plans.
00:31They are now saying that, like we heard from Rahul Gandhi, he's saying that the elections in the states of
00:37Maharashtra, Bihar, Haryana were a vote jury
00:40and all these state governments need to be dismissed.
00:45Re-elections should take place.
00:46That's what Rahul Gandhi is now believing.
00:48So, one thing is clear that a month-long agitation is completely planned
00:53and if a special session is called by the government, then we will again see escalation of their demands on
01:00the floor of the House.
01:02As we are speaking, Gaurav, let's update to our viewers about the names of MPs who have so far gone
01:08inside.

01:57on the roads.
