Uddhav, Raj Thackeray to Lead Mumbai Protest Against CEC Gyanesh Kumar
The protest targets the ECI’s roll revision process, which has removed more than 13 crore names and drawn support from the Congress and NCP (SP).
- On Sunday, Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray led a march against the Election Commission, proceeding from Richardson & Cruddas in Byculla to the BMC headquarters at CSMT.
- The Election Commission faces criticism over its Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, which began in June 2025 and has struck more than 13 crore names from draft rolls across 30 states and Union Territories.
- An investigation by The Indian Express found Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi objected at least 14 times in 10 months to Commission decisions, while Maharashtra's August 31 draft left out 2.07 crore electors.
- Uddhav feels the Election Commission let the Shiv Sena down during the split, fueling his determination to protest, as the Congress and other Opposition parties characterize the Commission's actions as alleged "vote theft."
- With Lok Sabha and Assembly elections not due until 2029, this agitation allows the Maha Vikas Aghadi to consolidate and present a unified front, with participating parties urging supporters to carry only the tricolour.
