Rahul Gandhi, 10 INDIA bloc leaders move Supreme Court against ECI
Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, and nine other INDIA bloc leaders filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court on Monday, 12 October, challenging the Election Commission of India (ECI) over alleged irregularities in the electoral roll. The petition, filed after a 'March for Democracy' from the Constitution Club, names Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi as parties.
Other petitioners include Akhilesh Yadav, Tejashwi Yadav, Sanjay Raut, Suvendra Adhikari (as per one source), Supriya Sule, and others. The Congress chief confirmed the filing, saying the petition seeks a probe into alleged discrepancies in the voter list. The full details of the relief sought have not been made public. Delhi Police stopped marchers with barricades at Bhagwan Das Road, after which some leaders climbed a vehicle.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both outlets report the same event with near-identical factual coverage, each attributing the petition to the same leaders and naming the same EC officials. Amar Ujala leads with the legal action and includes a video of Gandhi leaving the court, while Prabhat Khabar adds more detail on the march and the police barricade. Neither outlet frames the story as pro-government or government-critical, the tone is straight reportage. The uniform coverage suggests no editorial slant on this petition, leaving the substantive legal argument to be tested when the court hears the matter.
