At a key meeting of the Opposition INDIA bloc hosted by Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Thursday, the parties have decided to fight the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar as well as what they described as the "vote chori model" of the BJP-Election Commission.
The highlight of the dinner party was the detailed presentation by Rahul Gandhi titled 'Democracy Destroyed,' in which he briefed the leaders on large-scale electoral malpractices in Karnataka’s Mahadevapura constituency.
"A united front against electoral manipulation! We are committed to protecting democracy and will save it from being destroyed at all costs," the Congress said in a post on X later.
In a post on Facebook, Gandhi said, "I laid out BJP-EC's #VoteChori blueprint before INDIA alliance leaders tonight. INDIA is united, determined, and ready to defend democracy."
"What I say to the people is my word. Take it as an oath," he added.
Opposition leaders are set to take out a protest march from Parliament to the Election Commission headquarters in the national capital against the charges of "election rigging and fraud" as alleged by Gandhi.
