Uddhav, Raj Thackeray lead protest against CEC Gyanesh Kumar
Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray on Sunday targeted Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and raised questions over the poll panel's functioning. The two leaders led a joint protest march toward the BMC headquarters against Gyanesh Kumar. Opposition parties have been demanding his resignation. Uddhav Thackeray said the protest was aimed at opposing what he described as an attack on voters' rights and democracy. We are standing here today to overthrow the dictator, he said. He claimed that names of 13 crore people had been deleted from electoral rolls across the country and alleged that voters had also been excluded in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu. I have a question over the process of appointment of the Election Commissioners.
Will bury dictatorship manufactured under Make in India: Uddhav Thackeray at Mumbai rally
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 4 (IANS) Shiv Sena(UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday launched direct attacks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and the functioning of the Election Commission of India (ECI) during a rally in Mumbai. Referring to PM Modi's 'Make in India' initiative, Thackeray said, When he first became the Prime Minister, he announced Make in India. We supported that vision. But if you are manufacturing a dictator under Make in India, we stand here today to bury that dictatorship. Everything else under Make in India is fine, but if you attempt to become a dictator, consider your authoritarianism buried. Addressing 'Garjana Morcha' in Mumbai, organised by the Shiv Sena(UBT) with the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray, Uddhav Thackeray launched a scathing attack on the Central government and the ECI over allegations of systemic electoral fraud and the erosion of democratic institutions. He framed the demonstration as a ationwide crusade to safeguard Indias constitutional fabric and civil liberties, warning that public resentment could soon spill over into the streets if institutional overreach continues. Raising concerns over electoral roll manipulations, Uddhav Thackeray alleged that 13 crore voters have been erased from electoral lists across the country. That figure equals the entire population of Maharashtra. Is this arbitrary deletion acceptable to you? he asked the protesting crowd. He accused the authorities of 'stealthily purging vast voter bases. He pointed out that nearly 13 crore voters nationwide, including two crore in Maharashtra alone, have been unaccounted for or disenfranchised. He further noted that 70 lakh voters in Tamil Nadu and 30 lakh voters in West Bengal were removed. Pointing to West Bengal, Uddhav Thackeray noted that several invalidated voter applications were recently deemed valid right before the upcoming byelections. Criticising the legal delays, he questioned why urgent petitions filed in the Supreme Court face scheduled hearings just a day before polling. If the hearing takes place on the 5th and polling is on the 6th, how can reinstated voters exercise their rights? The ruling regime has captured every independent institution, he alleged. Questioning the credibility and appointment process of CEC Gyanesh Kumar, Uddhav Thackeray criticised the legislative removal of the Chief Justice of India (CJI) from the selection panel. He highlighted that the three-member panel now consists of the Prime Minister, a Cabinet Minister -- Union Home Minister Amit Shah -- and the Leader of the Opposition. With Home Minister Amit Shah on the committee, it creates an automatic 2-1 majority for the ruling government. Despite formal dissent from the Leader of Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, Gyanesh Kumar was appointed without waiting for scheduled court hearings. His appointment is fundamentally biased, he alleged. Remarking on the political narrative, Uddhav Thackeray asserted that while the BJP once built a narrative against alleged Congress corruption, current public sentiment across the nation has shifted to an India Against Vote-Chor (India Against Vote Thieves) movement. Denouncing the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Uddhav Thackeray claimed the party is incapable of governance. Governance and the BJP are polar opposites. What you are running is not an administration -- it is sheer political retribution, he charged, estimating that verifying the remaining disputed voter applications at the current pace would take nearly 146 months. Questioning the law and order state under the ruling administration in Maharashtra, Uddhav Thackeray cited the recent murder of Shiv Sena office-bearer Pradeep Purnekar in Thane. Where are your police forces and Home Minister now? Is this your version of Hindutva? he asked. He added that the terms BJP and administration have become contradictory, characterising the current administration as driven by political vengeance. Invoking Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray, he noted that Balasaheb consistently rejected such a miserable and vengeful version of democracy. Where is your Hindutva government when crimes against women and citizens are rising across the nation? he asked. Issuing a direct warning to the ruling establishment, Uddhav Thackeray said: You may have captured institutions and administrations, but the streets belong to the people. A day will come when you will find it difficult to even walk these public streets. The protest march, stretching from Metro Cinema to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) headquarters at CSMT, saw thousands of supporters marching with only the Indian Tricolour, strictly eschewing party flags. The rally united a broad coalition of opposition parties, with participation from the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar), Congress, Peasants and Workers Party of India (PWP), Left parties, along with MNS and Shiv Sena(UBT) cadres. The high-profile joint rally signals a major political escalation in Maharashtra, bringing opposing political factions together to challenge the Election Commission.

Nationalist Congress Party (SP) chief Sharad Pawar on Sunday backed the joint protest march being led by Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray in Mumbai against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, saying the demand was not limited to the city and that similar concerns were being raised across Maharashtra. Addressing a press conference, Pawar said political parties should come together to find a solution to alleged irregularities in the electoral process and take action against those found responsible. This demand is not limited to Mumbai. It is also being raised in Pune and Nagpur, and in several other parts of the state. The state government is going through the SIR process. When all concerned political parties come together to find a solution to this issue and take a decision regarding those who have committed irregularities, we will stand with them and extend our support, Pawar said.

BJP names Dinesh Arya as RS candidate from U'khand, Koel Mallick from Bengal
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 4 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday announced Dinesh Arya as its candidate for the 2026 Rajya Sabha biennial election in Uttarakhand and Rukmini Mallick (Koel Mallick) from West Bengal. In Uttarakhand, the by-election is necessitated by the completion of the term of sitting Rajya Sabha member Naresh Bansal. Actress-turned-politician Rukmini Mallick, popularly known as Koel Mallick, recently switched to the BJP from the Trinamool Congress. She resigned as Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha member in July this year, leaving the seat vacant and forcing a by-election. The Election Commission of India (ECI) on September 22 had announced the biennial elections for 11 Rajya Sabha seats, along with a by-election for one seat from West Bengal, on October 16. Of the 11 seats going to the polls in the biennial elections, 10 are from Uttar Pradesh, and one is from Uttarakhand. The West Bengal election will be held to fill a casual vacancy in the Upper House. The notification for the elections was issued on September 29, while the last date for filing nominations will be October 6. The scrutiny of nominations will be conducted on October 7, followed by the last date for withdrawal of candidature on October 9. Polling for the Rajya Sabha seats will be held on October 16 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., while counting of votes will begin at 5 p.m. on the same day. In Uttar Pradesh, the terms of 10 sitting Rajya Sabha members are coming to an end. The members whose terms are expiring include Arun Singh, Geeta alias Chandraprabha, Brij Lal, Ram Gopal Yadav, Ramji Gautam, B.L. Verma, Seema Dwivedi, Dinesh Sharma and Hardeep Singh Puri. Earlier in the day, the BJP announced its candidates for three Teachers' and Graduates' constituencies for the upcoming Maharashtra Legislative Council election. The BJP has fielded Smita Yogesh Jadhav from the Pune Division Graduates' constituency, Sudhakar Vitthalrao Kohle from the Nagpur Division Graduates' constituency and Kaustubh Muralidhar Gawde from the Pune Division Teachers' constituency. The announcement comes after discussions within the ruling alliance over the distribution of the five seats going to polls. According to MahaYuti leaders, the alliance has finalised a 3:1:1 formula for the elections. Under the arrangement, the BJP will contest three seats, while the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) will contest one seat and the Shiv Sena will contest the remaining one seat. The NCP has been allotted the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Graduates' constituency, while the Shiv Sena will contest the Amravati Teachers' constituency.
Thackeray brothers lead Garjana Morcha in Mumbai, challenge ECI over SIR row
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 4 (IANS) In a display of political unity, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray and Shiv Sena(UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday spearheaded a high-decibel Garjana Morcha in Mumbai. Marching from Metro Cinema to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) headquarters, the joint rally delivered a broadside against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the Election Commission of India (ECI) over alleged voter roll manipulation. The protest gained substantial momentum as key constituents of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), including the Nationalist Congress Party(Sharadchandra Pawar) and the Congress party, joined forces on the streets. The Communist Parties, Peasants and Workers Party also participated in the march. Ditching party flags in favour of the Tricolour, thousands of demonstrators marched demanding strict accountability, the scrapping of the controversial Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process, and the immediate resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Questioning the legitimacy of the recent election outcomes, Raj Thackeray pointed to the eerie silence across the state after the Assembly election results. He argued that a genuine democratic mandate is marked by spontaneous public celebration, whereas the current post-election atmosphere across Maharashtra reflected widespread disillusionment and shock. Highlighting a sharp statistical anomaly, Thackeray questioned how Maharashtra's voter base swelled by an astonishing 40 to 60 lakh voters within a brief six-month window following the Lok Sabha elections. He termed the surge a deliberate attempt to compromise electoral integrity. Reminding opposition leaders of his warnings dating back to 2017-2018, Raj Thackeray noted that he had previously met senior leaders, including Sonia Gandhi, Mamata Banerjee, and Sharad Pawar, regarding EVM vulnerabilities and voter list discrepancies. He reiterated that a united boycott of elections remains the only definitive way to force transparency. Asserting that the SIR mechanism was being weaponised to disenfranchise legitimate citizens while injecting bogus entries into rolls, Raj Thackeray demanded an immediate halt to SIR and a return to paper ballots for future elections. SIR in the country is illegal. I have only two demands. First, the SIR conducted in Maharashtra must be scrapped. Second, all future elections must be conducted on ballot papers. This will ensure complete transparency, doodh ka doodh, paani ka paani, said Raj Thackeray. He further added, I request all political parties to go to Delhi and raise their voices. Tomorrow, whichever party comes to power... it doesn't matter. But power must be attained through legitimate and fair means, he remarked. In his speech, Uddhav Thackeray also led a blistering attack on the BJP-led government at the Centre for gaining control over various institutions and engineering splits in political parties. He strongly criticised CEC Gyanesh Kumar for the centralisation of power in the poll panel, saying that he needs to be removed. He questioned the immunity which CEC enjoys during his tenure and also after retirement. The joint march marks a significant recalibration in Maharashtras political landscape. By rallying together alongside MVA allies, the Thackeray cousins have successfully elevated electoral integrity to a central public debate.

Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray will lead a joint protest march in Mumbai on Sunday against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, with the parties alleging irregularities in the electoral process and demanding his resignation. Speaking ahead of the protest, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut said the protest was a collective response to what he alleged were attempts to undermine democratic institutions, electoral processes and the constitutional rights of citizens. This protest is against the Hitler-rule prevailing in the country, hijacking elections, keeping the Election Commission and the Supreme Court in one's pocket, running a dictatorship, stealing votes, stealing elections, and poaching MPs and MLAs. This is a revolt against all that, much like the one in 1857, he told reporters. Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray have announced this protest march, with the entire Maha Vikas Aghadi backing it.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 4 (IANS) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Ram Kadam on Sunday took a swipe at Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, saying that rather than reiterating allegations of vote chori over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, the latter should clearly say that he is against removal of bogus voters. Speaking to IANS, Kadam remarked: In the future, whenever a list is made of those leaders who keep on lying, Rahul Gandhi's name will be mentioned at the top. Months before, Congress itself took out a rally to remove 'bogus voters' in Maharashtra and was even demanding the postponement of polls. Rahul Gandhi has a habit of forgetting things, and that is why he doesn't remember the demands of his own party, he said. Asserting that SIR is a process to clean the electoral rolls, the BJP leader stated that allegations made without evidence amount to an attack on democracy. Further, Ram Kadam accused LoP Gandhi of humiliating the Constitution and the Constitutional establishments. Instead of reiterating 'vote chori' allegations, Rahul Gandhi should clearly say that he doesn't want the removal of bogus voters, he remarked. Ram Kadam also criticised senior Congress leader and former Union Minister P. Chidambaram, saying: Does he not know about the rally undertaken by his party in Mumbai, demanding removal of bogus voters? Unfortunately, he belongs to that party, whose leader, Rahul Gandhi, maligns India's name during his foreign visits. On Saturday, Chidambaram lashed out at Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, saying the wisest thing that the poll body head could do is to step down immediately, amid reports of internal differences within the Election Commission. Further, Kadam referred to the Opposition's allegations against the CEC as planned conspiracy, questioning: Why would our enemies want our country to progress? Today, heads of countries like America, Australia and Russia are praising India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This is the appreciation for all 140 crore Indians, as today the country is developing at a fast pace, he asserted. Referring to the 7.8 per cent increase in real GDP, the BJP MLA said: Looking at this progress, some of our enemies sitting abroad are funding people here to insult our Constitutional establishments and spread anarchy. Unfortunately, Congress, both the Thackeray brothers (Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray) and the country's Opposition are first in line to do so, he alleged.
