INDIA bloc to hold protest march in Delhi on October 12, submit memorandum to CJI
The INDIA bloc has announced a major protest march in Delhi for October 12, 2026, to demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged electoral fraud. Senior opposition leaders plan to submit a memorandum to the Chief Justice of India, accusing the government of undermining democratic institutions.
Why it matters
This escalation highlights a severe constitutional crisis and a breakdown in trust between the opposition and the national election commission, threatening the stability of the democratic process.
The INDIA bloc will hold a protest march in Delhi against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh on the 'vote chori' issue on Monday (October 12, 2026), while a delegation of its senior leaders will submit a memorandum to the Chief Justice of India for his intervention in the matter.
On Monday (October 12, 2026), the Congress and the entire INDIA bloc and the country's youth will again take to the streets in massive numbers. This time too, the voice will echo across the nation — louder than ever before, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said.
“We will also meet the Chief Justice (of India) and demand that when the Constitution is being torn to shreds on Delhi's streets and democracy is being crushed, the guardians of the law cannot sit with blindfolds on,” he said.
