Mahadangal: Opposition MPs Detained While Attempting to Meet Election Commission, Protests Erupt

The prime-time debate show Mahadangal on ABP News highlights the escalating controversy over alleged voter fraud, causing nationwide protests and parliamentary paralysis. Opposition parties accuse the Election Commission of bias towards the ruling BJP and demand accountability. Despite being granted permission for a 30-member delegation to meet the Election Commission, opposition MPs, including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, and Akhilesh Yadav, were stopped and detained by Delhi police for attempting to bring a larger group. Opposition leaders staged a powerful protest outside the Parliament, demanding transparency amid growing public outrage. Akhilesh Yadav famously broke police barricades, demonstrating the high tension. Meanwhile, the Election Commission has demanded proof or a formal affidavit from Rahul Gandhi regarding his claims, accusing him of making baseless allegations. Adding to the turmoil, Karnataka’s Cooperative Minister K.N. Rajanna resigned following internal party pressures after questioning Rahul Gandhi’s accusations, pointing out that the voter lists in question were prepared under Congress governments. The debate intensifies on whether these allegations threaten India’s democratic processes and the public’s trust in elections. Mahadangal promises an in-depth discussion on the constitutional battle over the integrity of voting rights.
