High drama unfolded in Delhi as Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav jumped over a police barricade during the INDIA bloc’s protest march to the Election Commission. The demonstration, led by Congress MP and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, targeted alleged voter fraud in Bihar’s Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. Over 300 MPs joined the march from Parliament, but Delhi Police blocked the route citing lack of permission. Security forces deployed heavy barricading and quick reaction teams. The protest follows Rahul Gandhi’s recent claim of having “atom bomb” proof of large-scale “vote chori.”
