The Hindu · india

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge announced that the Opposition will escalate its agitation against the Election Commission of India. He demanded fresh elections using ballot papers in states where polls were held post the SIR process, calling the current Union government "illegal." Kharge alleged manipulation of EVMs and attempts to influence voter criteria, stating that recent elections were not legitimate. The Opposition plans a six-point program including protests and legal battles to protect citizens' voting rights, which he claims are being undermined.
