UP BJP chief Pankaj Chaudhary has accused the INDIA bloc of pushing the country toward chaos through its protests. He says the 2027 state election is about defeating those who want to unsettle the nation.
He claimed the opposition wants a movement modelled on upheavals in Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. A former BSP MP and an ex-CBI DSP joined the party at the same event.
The opposition's recent march to Ramlila Maidan also called for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar to resign over alleged voter roll irregularities.
BJP national vice-president Ram Madhav has dismissed the anti-SIR campaign as an effort by Congress and the INDIA bloc to weaken democratic institutions and downplay Narendra Modi's election win.
In Hyderabad, he rejected the claim that 10 lakh people attended the Delhi rally at Ramlila Maidan, saying the ground holds only 50,000. He added that the SIR is not new and has been held several times since 1952.
He also said the Centre has not released data on foreigners living illegally, which he said is held by the home ministry.
Trinamool MP Sagarika Ghose has accused Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar of colluding with the Centre to undermine the 2026 Bengal election result.
At a symbolic INDIA bloc impeachment of Kumar in New Delhi, she cited 27 lakh voters deleted under a 'logical discrepancy' category. She also claimed deletions in half the BJP-won seats in Bengal outnumbered the winning margins.
Mahua Moitra alleged that 71 per cent of those removed from Bengal's rolls were Muslims, and demanded Kumar's removal and prosecution.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah has accused Rahul Gandhi of disrupting Parliament and making boycotts a habit for the Congress. He made the charge at a rally in Karnal, Haryana, after leading a BJP march there on Thursday.
Shah again offered a special Parliament session to debate the revision of electoral rolls known as SIR, and accused the INDIA bloc of shielding infiltrators. He also asked Gandhi to disclose his foreign visits, since he is the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha.
Union minister Sarbananda Sonowal has accused Congress and its INDIA bloc allies of fuelling corruption, communal division and discord. He said the opposition questions election bodies and voting machines whenever it loses.
He backed the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, saying only genuine Indian citizens should be on them.
On the Northeast, he pointed to railway doubling and electrification, better road and air links and a Rs 7 lakh crore investment pipeline, saying the region is now a priority for the Centre.
Congress has responded to Home Minister Amit Shah, who said the INDIA bloc's November 1 rally was meant to protect infiltrators. Party media chief Pawan Khera said Shah should quit the Home Ministry if he cannot handle it.
Khera questioned Shah's handling of internal security, citing violence in Manipur, the Pahalgam attack, a 2025 blast near the Red Fort and 300 kg of RDX recovered near Delhi.
Shah made the remarks at a Karnal rally, where he also said the BJP would detect, delete and deport infiltrators from electoral rolls.
