Rahul Gandhi Marches to Election Commission with Led Zeppelin Track
· India · Indian Express, Times of India, NDTV
Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi led a protest march from parliament to the Election Commission office in New Delhi on October 6, 2026. The INDIA opposition bloc marched to demand the resignation of Chief Election Commission Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in voter roll revisions. Gandhi posted an Instagram reel of himself standing atop Delhi Police metal barricades while a Led Zeppelin track played in the background. The protest follows an investigation published by The Indian Express last month revealing that two Election Commissioners objected to voter re-verification decisions. Gandhi stated that it is established beyond doubt that the Chief Election Commissioner illegally altered Form 6, while the BJP dismissed the remarks as lies.
