NDA allies Chirag Paswan and Upendra Kushwaha have sought clarification from the Election Commission over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, asking it to dispel confusion among people. TDP leader Lavu Srikrishna Devarayalu also called for transparency. The issue intensified as Opposition protests spread across the country. Delhi Police detained Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi, CPI-ML(L) general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya, activist Yogendra Yadav and others during protests. Congress held demonstrations in several states, with police using water cannons and tear gas in some places. The protests follow reported objections by two Election Commissioners over electoral-roll processes and technology.
