The Bihar SIR has been repeatedly criticised by the Opposition parties, calling the revision as unconstitutional and alleging that voter list manipulation might happen to favour a particular political party. The Opposition has been protesting against the SIR in and out of Parliament, also planning a march to ECI's AShoka road office from Parliament on Monday.
Senior
Congress
leader Digvijaya Singh has alleged that all the Booth Level Officers (BLOs) are filling out "fake forms" in one room while making the announcement for the march.
Notably, the ECI has granted an appointment for an interaction at 12 PM with Congress, after the party levied serious allegations of fraud in elections, and the ECI "colluding" with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to "destroy the electoral system in India."
The appointment is granted in response to Jairam Ramesh's request on "behalf of certain political parties". The
Election Commission
has requested to submit the names of upto 30 people along with their vehicle numbers for the interaction due to the limitation of space.
The agenda of the meeting is not mentioned in the letter. However, the Opposition has been constantly raising questions over Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Bihar, accusing the poll body of "vote theft".

This protest is against vote theft: RJD as INDIA Bloc leaders march to ECI
Patna: As INDIA Bloc leaders, including Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, and Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, led a protest march from Parliament House to the Election Commission of India (ECI) headquarters on Monday, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) spokesperson Mrityunjay Tiwari called it a fight to stop 'vote theft.' The protest was organised in opposition to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar, which the Opposition claims is a move to manipulate voter data ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections. Speaking to IANS, Mrityunjay Tiwari said, 'This protest is being waged both in the House and on the streets. There are deliberate attempts to weaken democracy. We will not allow vote theft with SIR. This is a major battle to safeguard democratic principles.' Reacting to the ECI's demand that LoP Rahul Gandhi either issue a formal declaration or apologise for his statements regarding electoral integrity, Tiwari alleged that the poll body was working under the influence of the central government. 'It is evident that the ECI is acting on a script written by the Centre. Rahul Gandhi is the Leader of the Opposition; he has raised serious concerns, and it is the duty of the ECI to clarify. Instead, they are asking for oaths. What oath is needed? The Election Commission has deviated from its responsibility and accountability,' he told IANS. Meanwhile, the Delhi Police on Monday detained several INDIA Bloc leaders, including LoP Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, Trinamool Congress leader Sagarika Ghose, and Shiv Sena (UBT) MP, Sanjay Raut, as they attempted to march to the ECI's office. Among the key figures leading the protest were Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Akhilesh Yadav. The leaders accused the ECI of failing to prevent voter list tampering during last year's Lok Sabha elections and claimed the SIR process in Bihar is another attempt to manipulate the democratic process. In a dramatic moment during the protest, Akhilesh Yadav was seen jumping over a police barricade as security personnel tried to halt the march. Several other leaders were detained for attempting to breach the barricades en route to the ECI office. Following his detention, LoP Rahul Gandhi told reporters, 'The ECI cannot even speak, and this is the reality. The truth is visible to the nation. This march is not political; it is a battle to protect the Constitution — a fight for 'one man, one vote.' We demand a clean and transparent voter list.'

BJP Govt, Election Commission Completely Lost Plot: Karnataka CM On Detention Of INDIA Bloc MPs During Protest
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday accused the BJP-led Central government of "weaponising" police against the INDIA bloc MPs instead of "addressing rot" in the electoral system, as "exposed" by Rahul Gandhi. He made the remarks after the Delhi Police today detained INDIA bloc MPs, for protesting against the poll body over the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in poll-bound Bihar and allegation of "voter fraud" during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. "The cowardly Narendra Modi Govt and a compromised Election Commission have completely lost the plot. After Shri Rahul Gandhi exposed massive voter fraud in Bengaluru, instead of addressing the rot in our electoral system, the BJP is weaponising the police to detain those demanding accountability," Siddaramaiah wrote in a post on X. Rahul Gandhi on August 7 held a press conference, where he claimed that the 2024 Lok Sabha elections were "choreographed" by the EC to benefit the BJP, which he said appeared "immune to anti-incumbency." Today, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and other senior INDIA leaders were detained for marching peacefully to the ECI against the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Bihar and the growing pattern of electoral malpractices," Siddaramaiah said. Continuing his tirade over the government's actions, Siddaramaiah said, "A government that silences the Opposition rather than letting the ECI do its constitutional duty is a government that fears the truth - and fears the people." Earlier today, Delhi Police detained Rahul Gandhi, Akhilesh Yadav, Mallikarjun Kharge and other Opposition MPs, shortly after they began their protest march from the Makar Dwar of the Parliament. The MPs were raising slogans of "vote chor" as they marched towards the office of the poll body at Nirvachan Sadan, before being halted by the Police. The detained MPs were taken in a bus to the olice station. Rahul Gandhi said that the Opposition's fight is not a political fight but a fight to save the constitution. "The reality is that they cannot talk. The truth is in front of the country. This fight is not political. This fight is to save the Constitution. This fight is for One Man, One Vote. We want a clean, pure voters list," the Congress leader said. Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi said, "Dare hue hai. Sarkaar kaayar hai. (They are afraid, the Government is a coward)," BJP leader and Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan accused the Congress of misleading the public. "The country can see if there is anyone who is working against the Constitution, it is led by Rahul Gandhi. SIR is not happening for the first time in the country. Congress lies about EVMs, raises the issue of Maharashtra elections, Haryana elections and creates a mountain of is their well-thought-out strategy to create a state of anarchy...I appeal to the Opposition and the Congress party to raise all issues in discussion on Operation Sindoor in Parliament, the Opposition and Congress had no agenda..."

Rahul Gandhi responds to Election Commission notices: ‘Attempt to distract from electoral irregularities'
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Monday that the notices the Election Commission is sending him regarding his 'vote chori' allegation are meant to distract from the main issue of alleged irregularities in India's electoral rolls for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. "It is their (Election Commission) data. It is not my data that I will sign (an affidavit)... Put that data on your website and you will get to know. All this is just to distract from the issue. This has not just taken place in Bengaluru but several other constituencies too," Rahul Gandhi told reporters. The Congress MP was responding to the Election Commission's notices to him. The poll panel had urged Gandhi to declare the allegations under oath. Karnataka's Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) issued a notice to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, over his claims that a 70-year-old woman from Mahadevpura, Shakun Rani, had voted twice. The Karnataka CEO has directed the Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Lok Sabha to provide all the 'relevant documents' on the basis of which he made the claims. Earlier in the day, Opposition MPs, including Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, took out a protest march on Monday from Parliament House to the Election Commission against the revision of electoral rolls in Bihar and alleged "vote chori" but were stopped midway by the police and detained amid high drama. 'See the condition of India's democracy. 300 MPs wanted to meet the Election Commission to present a document, but they were not allowed. They are scared. What if 300 MPs come and their truth is revealed? This fight is not political anymore,' Rahul Gandhi said. The Congress MP said this fight is for the Constitution and for One Man, One Vote. We have clearly shown in Karnataka that it was Multiple Man, Multiple Vote. The entire opposition is fighting against this. It will be very difficult for the Election Commission to hide now," he said. In a press conference last week on alleged 'vote chori,' Rahul Gandhi claimed 1,00,250 votes were stolen in Karnataka's Mahadevapura segment. He claimed these included nearly 12,000 duplicate voters, 40,000 with fake or invalid addresses, over 10,000 registered at the same address, 4,100 with invalid photos, and around 34,000 misusing Form 6 for new voters. Key Takeaways Gandhi's allegations highlight concerns over electoral roll integrity. The response from the Election Commission raises questions about transparency. The situation reflects broader issues regarding democracy and voter representation in India.
