The Karnataka unit of the INDIA coalition staged a large protest demanding the withdrawal of the electoral roll audit, citing concerns over transparency and fairness.
The Karnataka branch of the INDIA coalition organized a sizable protest earlier this week to oppose the recent electoral roll audit conducted by the state election authorities. Participants gathered in front of the state election office, chanting slogans demanding the audit be halted and a transparent review process be instituted.
The protestors highlighted concerns that the audit could affect the integrity of the electoral rolls and potentially disadvantage certain voter groups. They called on the Election Commission to reconsider the audit methodology and to engage with stakeholders for a more inclusive approach.
State officials acknowledged the demonstration and said they would review the protestors’ concerns. No major incidents were reported, and the protest ended peacefully with the bloc’s leaders urging continued dialogue with electoral authorities.
