The Opposition INDIA bloc on Friday (October 9, 2026) urged President Droupadi Murmu to “repeal” all Assembly elections held over the last two years, saying they have “incontrovertible proof” of “vote chori” (theft).

Before their meeting with the President, the Opposition leaders gathered at the central hall of Samvidhan Sadan, where according to sources, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi claimed that the government is “rattled” and if the Opposition continues its campaign, the government could fall without completing its full term.

“We have incontrovertible proof that vote chori has taken place on a massive scale in election after election. Assembly elections in Haryana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Delhi and West Bengal have been stolen,” the memorandum said.
