New Delhi. In the days leading up to a high‑stakes INDIA alliance meeting, a series of billboards aimed at senior opposition politicians have appeared across central Delhi. The placards display a variety of slogans directed at coalition figures, yet no group or individual has stepped forward to claim responsibility.

Simultaneously, the constituent parties of the INDIA alliance are convening at the Constitution Club to deliberate on three core agenda items: the functioning of the Election Commission, the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, and the conduct of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The gathering is expected to produce a coordinated response to these challenges.

Key topics on the table

  • Critiques of the SIR process and its impact on voter eligibility.
  • Potential parliamentary motions aimed at the removal of CEC Gyanesh Kumar.
  • Joint protest strategies and outreach programmes for the upcoming election cycle.

Senior Congress figures—including Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi—are slated to speak, while Trinamool Congress leaders such as Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee are also expected to attend. Some parties may be represented by delegates rather than top brass.

Election Commission’s stance

The Election Commission has defended its internal debates as a normal part of institutional procedure, insisting that all decisions are taken in line with established legal frameworks. Nonetheless, the opposition bloc argues that recent actions undermine the commission’s neutrality.

The INDIA alliance’s strategy session follows a recent Congress Working Committee communiqué that highlighted several grievances regarding the SIR exercise and the commission’s overall conduct. Attendees are likely to outline concrete parliamentary steps and coordinate synchronized demonstrations.

The sudden emergence of the opposition‑focused billboards adds an extra layer of political drama to the pre‑meeting atmosphere. As of now, no political party or external organization has confirmed involvement in the hoardings.
