New Delhi – In the days leading up to a pivotal meeting of the INDIA alliance, eye‑catching billboards featuring opposition stalwarts have sprung up across central Delhi. The placards display a range of slogans directed at senior leaders, yet no group or individual has claimed responsibility for the displays.
Agenda at the Constitution Club
While the hoardings draw public attention, members of the alliance are convening at the Constitution Club to deliberate on three core issues:
- The functioning and perceived impartiality of the Election Commission.
- The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls and its procedural transparency.
- The role and future of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
Leaders Expected to Attend
Senior Congress figures such as Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi are slated to be present. The Trinamool Congress will be represented by Mamata Banerjee, Abhishek Banerjee and other senior cadres. Smaller opposition parties plan to send delegates, ensuring a broad consensus.
Strategic Outlook
The alliance aims to forge a joint strategy that could include parliamentary motions, coordinated protests, and a possible demand for the removal of CEC Gyanesh Kumar. The Congress Working Committee has already tabled a series of concerns regarding the SIR process, prompting the need for a collective response.
Election Commission’s Position
In parallel, the Election Commission has defended its internal deliberations as part of a normal institutional process, asserting that all actions are grounded in established legal frameworks.
Political Climate
The sudden appearance of the billboards adds another layer of intrigue to an already charged political atmosphere. No party has publicly confirmed involvement, leaving the motive behind the hoardings open to speculation.
