Several opposition lawmakers, including Rahul Gandhi, were detained in Delhi while protesting against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. They demanded his resignation over allegations of manipulating voter rolls to favor the ruling BJP during a nationwide revision process. After their release, the MPs continued their protest near the Election Commission headquarters.
The controversy has intensified following reports of internal dissent among election commissioners regarding the voter roll revision. The Supreme Court is also involved, asking for responses from the government and the Election Commission regarding the allegations against Kumar.
