Speaking at the Conference, Yadav said, "The BJP has a machine that can produce Aadhaar cards in five minutes, enabling them to create Aadhaar cards and voter IDs on election day. In this election, we will also buy and deploy that machine at every booth, which we learned from the BJP people. BJP can easily produce plastic cards, so we want metal cards to be issued instead. We will not boycott, but we will defeat the BJP together."
Meanwhile,
Congress
MP KC Venugopal on Sunday stated that his party is going to reveal the "serious malpractices" of the
Election Commission of India
in Bengaluru on August 5.

Four-day Uttar Pradesh legislature session to run till August 14
The Monsoon Session of the Uttar Pradesh legislature will commence on Monday (August 11, 2025), with Assembly Speaker Satish Mahana chairing an all-party meeting on Sunday (August 10, 2025) to seek the cooperation of all political parties. Both Houses — the Vidhan Sabha and the Vidhan Parishad — will sit for four days, till August 14, with some key Bills expected to be tabled. 'We requested for the cooperation of leaders from all the parties during the Assembly session,' Mr. Mahana said. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited the Vidhan Sabha premises, where he inaugurated the renovated dome at the entrance of the Vidhan Bhavan, Assembly Room No. 15, and the VVIP dining hall. He also participated in the all-party meeting ahead of the session. The Samajwadi Party (SP), the principal Opposition, said it would raise issues such as the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in the context of the Bihar polls, the merger of government schools, law and order, and floods. 'We will raise key issues like the SIR, school merger which are fundamental to the survival of democracy and the future of our country,' SP spokesperson Ameeque Jamei said. The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) said any attempt to portray the SIR as politically motivated was 'misleading and baseless'. 'The Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Bihar is a routine, transparent, and constitutionally mandated exercise carried out under the direct supervision of the Election Commission of India. Its objective is simple - to ensure that every eligible voter's name is included, errors are corrected, and duplicate or ineligible entries are removed. This process strengthens democracy and empowers citizens, especially first-time voters. Any attempt to portray this as politically motivated is baseless and misleading,' said Pushkar Mishra, a senior BJP functionary based in Uttar Pradesh.

CPI(M), Congress to highlight ‘voter fraud' in Thrissur LS polls in campaign against BJP
The ruling front and the Opposition in the State seem set to spotlight alleged voter fraud in the 2024 Thrissur Lok Sabha elections in their campaigning against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the local body elections later in the year. The possibility of electoral malpractices is arguably gaining political traction in Kerala after Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi accused the Election Commission of India (ECI) of colluding with the BJP to add over a lakh phoney voters to the electoral list in at least one Assembly segment in a Lok Sabha constituency in Karnataka ahead of the 2024 general elections. Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] general secretary M.A. Baby told reporters in Thrissur that the contours of the electoral fraud in Karnataka appeared evident in the Thrissur constituency too. He alleged that the ECI helped BJP booth agents add at least 30,000 bogus voters in Thrissur using fudged proof of domicile and forged identities. Charges against ECI Mr. Baby said the ECI had called a meeting of election officials from the Booth Level Officer (BLO) and upwards ahead of the 2024 polls to dilute the voter enrolment process. The ECI had authorised BLOs to add to the voters' list any person who has completed two days of residence in their jurisdiction, if the individual provided the slightest proof of domicile. Earlier, he said, a new voter qualified for the electoral list only if the person provided solid evidence of residence for at least six months. 'Guest workers, passers-by, and people outside the constituency found their way into the electoral list with the ctive collusion of ECI officials and BJP agents who provided them phoney identity proof and addresses of empty houses and apartments in Thrissur,' Mr. Baby said. District Congress Committee president Joseph Taget alleged that the ECI glossed over anomalies on the voters' list flagged by party workers. UDF leader N.K. Premachandran, MP, said the INDIA bloc allies would weigh impeaching the members of the constitutional body. BJP response M.T. Ramesh, BJP's core committee member, rubbished the CPI(M)-Congress claims. He said Mr. Gopi won by over 75,000 votes. He said the surprising victory stung both parties and signalled the end of UDF-LDF 'revolving door' politics in Kerala. 'The CPI(M) and Congress had no complaints about the electoral list during the voter enrolment phase,' he said.
