00:00But all eyes clearly are on the India Bloc meeting that will take place tomorrow and who attends, who doesn't?
00:05The DMKs confirm they're not going to be a part of it. Parties like ARP2 don't seem to be keen
00:10on attending.
00:11Remember that the Congress today held a CWC meet and the focus, the spotlight was on their demands as far
00:18as the CEC's resignation is concerned.
00:20Rahul Gandhi reportedly has taken that a step further. Not just the CEC's resignation, but also the Prime Minister's resignation,
00:26the Home Minister's resignation.
00:27That's what the Congress is going to push forward with. But yes, while the Congress puts forth these demands, the
00:34question is how much of pressure can the opposition really build up unless they come together as one voice against
00:41the government, which at this point, that test, the results of that will be revealed tomorrow.
01:06The political temperature over the Election Commission is rising.
01:11After revelations that two Election Commissioners raised 14 objections over matters related to SIR,
01:18the Congress, which has already taken voter deletions to the streets, now wants to take the fight further.
01:27The CWC met on Tuesday and passed a resolution saying,
01:32Vote Chori is organised by CEC Gyanesh Kumar on behalf of Prime Minister and Home Minister
01:37and nothing short of their resignation will ensure the safety of the Constitution.
01:42The party sought immediate resignation of CEC Gyanesh Kumar,
01:46immediate suspension of SIR and immediate restoration of 13.3 crore voters
01:52deleted from electoral rolls.
01:55Sources tell India today that Rahul Gandhi told the CWC that 2024 elections were fixed.
02:02The Prime Minister is shaken after protests and the Congress will work with the lies in its fight over SIR.
02:09Whenever the dictators lose the confidence of the people, common voters,
02:17they will find out extraordinary tools to continue in power.
02:25This exercise, entire SIR exercise and their thought done by Gyanesh Kumar
02:31cannot happen without the concurrence of Prime Minister Modi and Amit Shah.
02:36The BJP has hit back.
03:03But the CWC meet is only the first act.
03:06On Wednesday, India bloc parties are set to meet to work out a joint strategy on the Election Commission and
03:14SIR Rao.
03:15Yet even before that meeting, there are signs of disorder within the opposition camp.
03:21SP Chief Akilesh Yadav is skipping the meet, citing prior political engagements
03:26while senior SP leaders are expected to attend in his place.
03:31Shif Sina, UBT and MNS will attend the meet virtually as they are holding their own demonstrations in Mumbai this
03:38week.
03:51The DMK has already distanced itself from the India bloc after Congress's post-poll alignment with Vijay's TVK in Tamil
03:59Nadu.
04:00So as Congress escalates its fight against the Election Commission,
04:04the bigger test may be whether the opposition can turn that anger into a united front.
04:11The CWC has drawn the battle lines.
04:14Wednesday's India bloc meet will show how united that front really is.
