The political battle intensifies over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee leading the charge against the BJP and the Election Commission. The transcript quotes her claiming this was 'silent, invisible rigging by the BJP'. In response, the BJP has labelled her protest a ‘ghus-paithya bachao yatra’ (save infiltrators rally) and a 'rally of Jamaat', alleging the TMC is protecting illegal immigrants. The controversy is not limited to Bengal; the DMK in Tamil Nadu has also challenged the voter revision process, filing a petition in the Supreme Court calling the exercise 'unconstitutional' and 'anti-people'.

Rahul Gandhi Drags Army Into Caste Politics, Sparks Massive Row
This special report focuses on the major controversy sparked by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi's remarks at a political rally in Kutumba, Bihar. 'In the army they have control. And 90% of the population, you will not find anywhere,' Rahul Gandhi stated, alleging that 10% of India's population controls key institutions, including the armed forces, at the expense of the remaining 90%, comprising Dalits, backward classes, and minorities.

The bulletin questions this assertion, highlighting that the armed forces operate on a merit-first and India-first principle, where caste and religion are not considerations for service or sacrifice. The move is analysed as a 'dangerous and slippery slope' in the context of national security.
