00:00Big India Bloc meet today in the National Capital.
00:03Opposition meet to up the ante on Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
00:07Opposition seats probe into the EC decisions that have been taken
00:11because as per reports there was some difference in opinions of the three election commissioners
00:17and they were not consulted.
00:19This is what some reports suggest after which the opposition has been upping the ante
00:23against Chief Election Commissioner.
00:25And although the EC has clarified that all the decisions,
00:28including Special Intensive Division, were taken unanimously by all the three election commissioners.
00:33Now, opposition demands Chief Election Commissioner's resignation.
00:36BJP meanwhile attacks India Bloc meeting in Delhi.
00:39Calls opposition unity a sinking ship.
00:42BJP says India Bloc a failed experiment and India Bloc is a house of cards.
00:47So the BJP in turn is questioning the unity of the India Bloc
00:50because Samaj Wadi Particle for Khaleesh Yadar will not be attending the meeting.
00:55He will be sending representatives if we talk about the DMK.
00:59The DMK will also not be a part of this meeting.
01:01The Aam Admi Party was also approached but the Aam Admi Party is also distancing itself
01:05from the big India Bloc meeting that will be held today in the National Capital.
01:09So the BJP is questioning the India Bloc and its unity.
01:13Meanwhile, the strategy of the opposition is now to up the ante on Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
01:19They are seeking his removal, they are seeking his ouster and they are going to discuss the strategy of this
01:26today.
01:27And the opposition is also seeking probe into the election commission decisions.
01:31They are also staging nationwide protests.
01:33Different opposition parties are staging protests across the country, particularly the Congress Party.
01:38And my colleague Piyush Mishra is now joining us with more details on this.
01:42Piyush, all eyes today are on the big India Bloc meeting that is set to be held in the National
01:47Capital.
01:47What all is on the agenda?
01:49What is going to be the strategy of the opposition?
01:52Meanwhile, the unity of the opposition is also being questioned by the BJP.
01:57What I said, today is going to be a big meeting in Delhi where various partners of India Bloc are
02:03attending.
02:04And this meeting is basically going to be focused on multiple political developments.
02:10Remember that this meeting has come in the wake of the Congress of the CWC meeting,
02:15which happened yesterday, when they decided on various other issues.
02:23Today, the India Bloc meeting is happening in the National Capital.
02:28And in this India Bloc meeting, we are going to focus on the issue of election commission
02:33and various other issues, which the Congress Party has been facing in the past many, many days.
02:39Unitedly, India Bloc is going to raise this issue.
02:42What we are told is that the parties like R.J.D., Samadwaji Party,
02:48and various other India Bloc concerns are participating in this meeting.
02:52Especially, left leaders are also participating.
02:55But TNC is also coming and taking part of this meeting.
02:58And after the meeting comes to the end, a lot of things are going to come forward.
03:04And Unitedly, India Bloc will be telling to the media about the kind of issues which we have discussed.
03:09But yes, it's a huge political double effect in the National Capital.
03:14Because this meeting was all said to be done last month.
03:18But because of a few reasons, it could not happen.
03:21And again, now this meeting is happening in Delhi.
03:23We have to wait in one.
03:24What are the issues on which India Bloc is going to put its name?
03:28All right, Piyush, thank you for those details.
03:30We'll keep coming back to you for more updates on the story that we're closely tracking.
03:34So, the big India Bloc meeting is all set to be held today.
03:37But the BJP, meanwhile, has attacked.
03:40The opposition has, in fact, mocked the India Bloc, calling it a failure
03:43and also questioning the India Bloc's unity.
