The Aam Aadmi Party said it will skip the INDIA bloc's October 6 march to the Election Commission, breaking ranks with the opposition coalition over alleged voter-roll irregularities. Rediff reported that AAP MP Sanjay Singh described the issue as a grassroots movement, saying his party would pursue its own separate protests instead of joining the bloc's coordinated action.
The opposition coalition plans to march from Parliament to the Election Commission to raise concerns about the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. First India noted that Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge said the opposition would organize five large rallies across the country to argue that voters' right to choose their government was under threat.
AAP Charts Its Own Protest Course
Singh said protests over alleged SIR irregularities were happening daily across India. Newsable reported that the party is campaigning without its own banner, instead treating the movement as a broader people's initiative. He pointed to ongoing actions by the Left parties and other organizations joining the push for electoral transparency.
Coalition Skipped by Two Major Allies
This marks the second time AAP has diverged from INDIA bloc planning. Daily Hunt noted that AAP skipped the opposition's September 30 planning meeting, as did the DMK, a major Tamil Nadu player. The split signals growing friction within the coalition over strategy and messaging on electoral issues.
Opposition Bloc Plans Week-Long 'Save Democracy' Push
The INDIA bloc announced plans for "save democracy" marches running from October 2 to 8, involving youth groups and NGOs. Rediff reported that demonstrations would target district magistrate offices nationwide. Congress plans five large rallies at dates and locations still being finalized to highlight voter-selection concerns.
Opposition leaders said they would escalate the issue to President Droupadi Murmu. First India reported the bloc intends to formally lodge complaints about the electoral-roll revision, framing it as a threat to democratic choice and institutional integrity.
