Overview

  • About 300 INDIA bloc MPs, led by Rahul Gandhi, marched from Parliament to the Election Commission headquarters in Delhi to protest alleged vote fraud and Bihar’s Special Intensive Revision, resulting in the detention of key leaders.
  • The Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer issued a formal notice to Rahul Gandhi seeking documentary proof for his claim that voter Shakun Rani cast two ballots in the Mahadevapura segment.
  • The Election Commission dismissed Gandhi’s Mahadevapura presentation as a “distorted and baseless analysis” and asked him to file a sworn declaration or apologize for unverified allegations.
  • The Congress-led opposition continues to drive its digital campaign via votechori.in, urging public registration to demand machine-readable voter rolls and transparent audit logs.
  • The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear final arguments on August 12–13 against Bihar’s SIR after the ECI affirmed in court that no deletions will occur without prior notice, a hearing and a reasoned order.
