New Delhi. In the run‑up to the pivotal INDIA alliance gathering, a series of billboards aimed at senior opposition figures have sprung up across central Delhi on Wednesday. The placards display a range of slogans directed at the leaders, yet the party or group behind them remains unidentified.
The constituent parties of the INDIA coalition are convening inside the Constitution Club, where the agenda will centre on the Election Commission’s functioning, the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, and questions surrounding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Delegates are expected to carve out a coordinated response.
Key items on the docket
- Evaluation of the Election Commission’s recent actions and procedural transparency.
- Implications of the SIR exercise for voter‑list integrity.
- Potential parliamentary motion to remove Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
Senior Congress personalities such as Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi will lead their party’s participation, while Trinamool leaders Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee are also slated to attend. Certain allies may be represented by nominated delegates.
The Election Commission, when pressed for comment, has framed internal dissent as a normal part of its institutional deliberations and reiterated that all decisions are anchored in established legal norms.
Following a series of concerns raised by the Congress Working Committee on the SIR process, the alliance is poised to outline a joint strategy that could involve parliamentary interventions, coordinated protests and a unified communication campaign.
The sudden appearance of opposition‑targeted billboards in Delhi adds another layer of political theatre to the meeting, though no party has publicly claimed responsibility for the displays.
