MPs dont need permission to walk on streets of Delhi: Ramgopal Yadav
Yadav told ANI on Monday, "MPs dont need permission to walk on the streets of Delhi... If there is any kind of threat from the MPs coming out on the roads, then the system is useless..."
RJD MP Manoj Jha told ANI, "... If you cannot meet MPs citing the excuse of space, then that in itself is a comment on what kind of work you are doing... This (SIR) is a fraud; you are not providing classified data. Despite the Supreme Court's instructions, your (Election Commission) stubbornness is not going away..."
Samajwadi Party MP Dimple Yadav told ANI, "Questions are being raised on our democracy. In UP, by-elections were held on 10 Vidhan Sabha seats; not only were votes stolen, but booths were captured. Why didn't the Election Commission take action against the officers who were working on orders of the state government."
BJP MP Jagdambika Pal on Monday criticised the INDIA bloc MPs over their march.
He also reteriated the stand of the Election Commisison asking Rahul Gandhi , who is leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, to submit under oath his allegations of "vote theft" in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Speaking to ANI, Pal said,"They have not been allowing the House to function from the day first... The way Rahul Gandhi is making allegations against the Election Commission, the Election Commission is asking for evidence, saying If you have any proof, show it."
Earlier today, security was tightened and barricades put up outside the Transport Bhawan in view of the March.

Hyderabad: Chief minister A Revanth Reddy, president B Mahesh Kumar Goud, ministers, and numerous Congress leaders have vehemently condemned the detention of AICC frontline leaders Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, and others during their protest against the Election Commission of India's (ECI) alleged collusion with the ruling BJP. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Taking to X, CM Revanth posted: "As Rahul Gandhi begins the fight for democracy and the restoration of the sacrosanct power of every Indian's vote… the BJP has resorted to a dastardly act by detaining him, Priyanka Gandhi, and other Congress leaders. Jails cannot crush resolve or silence the voice of Rahul Gandhi. #VoteKiChori." Mahesh Kumar Goud said that the detention of Rahul Gandhi by Delhi Police is not an act of law, but an exposure of the BJP's fear. "Rahul Gandhi has fearlessly exposed the ECI's collusion with the BJP and unmasked the 'Vote Chori' that is shaking the very foundations of democracy. His fight is not for politics, but for the Constitution and the sacred right of 'One Person, One Vote'." The TPCC chief added that every Congress worker, from the grassroots to the top leadership, stands shoulder to shoulder with Rahul Gandhi. "His voice is our voice, his fight is our fight and no detention can break this resolve. The BJP may attempt to silence him, but they will only amplify the nation's call for truth," Mahesh Goud

Assam govt speeds up SIR prep, BLO training soon
Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Guwahati: Preparation for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Assam is gathering momentum with the next round of training of booth-level officers (BLO) expected to take place within a week. Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma , while attacking Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, said that in some places even the names of dead persons and married women were there in the voters' list and SIR would help weed out such voters. Assam is going to assembly polls early next year."In Assam's char areas (riverine) and some other places even dead people's names are there in the voters' list in large numbers. They do not delete it. Even married daughters' names are there. The voting percentage in these areas is around 100%," Sarma told media persons on Monday."Once SIR comes and the voters' list is linked with Aadhaar, this problem will be solved. Rahul Gandhi opposes SIR; what he wants is not clear. He can go to the Election Commission and seek rectification of the voters' list linking the voters' name with Aadhaar. He is not interested in this; he has picked up some names and is busy showing them. If the voters' list is wrong, how did Congress win Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka and Telangana assembly polls? If your party wins it is alright. All these days, they were blaming EVM, now that EVM bullets are not firing, they have taken to SIR," he said.A BLO, who did not want to be named, told ET, "There was a directive from the deputy commissioner's office that the next round of training on preparation of SIR will take place within a week in some areas. We are expecting a written communication in the next couple of days."Newly-appointed BLOs have undergone a couple of rounds of training. Sources in the election offices told ET, "Last month, BLOs were appointed largely drawn from the teaching community. As it was summer vacation, training sessions were rolled out for BLOs on the electoral roll revision . Registration of BLOs on the App is underway." A BLO told ET, "We are asked to work for the revision after school hours. In the training session, there were talks of SIR and BLO forms. In case of new voters, we are made aware of the documents we should seek like birth certificate, photograph, parent's voters identity card and address proof. For deletion, we were suggested to look for death certificates." Assam Chief Electoral Officer Anurag Goel has issued instructions to all district election officers to ensure immediate preparedness.

Bihar Survey Truth Files: India Today's eye-opening reality check
This episode of 5 Live features a significant political protest in Delhi, India, where India Bloc Members of Parliament, led by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, marched from Parliament towards the Election Commission. The protest centered on allegations of 'vote chori' or vote theft and manipulation of voter lists, specifically concerning the Special Intensive Revision in Bihar. Police stopped the demonstration, leading to the detention of approximately 300 MPs. The government has stated these allegations are baseless. In a separate development, the Supreme Court issued a directive for all stray dogs in Delhi NCR to be picked up and housed in dedicated shelters within eight weeks, prohibiting their release back onto the streets. The court also warned of penalties for any obstruction to this process.
