Congress president and Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge said on Saturday that the Opposition will step up agitation against the Election Commission of India and demand fresh elections using ballot papers in States where elections were held post SIR process.

Mr. Kharge described the Narendra Modi-led Union government as an “illegal government” and demanded that it go, alleging that the democratic and constitutional rights of people were being undermined.

Speaking to media representatives at his residence in Kalaburagi, Mr. Kharge said the Opposition had chalked out a six-point programme to intensify its campaign against the Election Commission and to protect the voting rights of citizens.
