BJP Vs INDIA Bloc: How Street Protests Became The New Political Battleground

The political battle over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and 'Vote Chori' allegations has spilled onto the streets, with the BJP and INDIA bloc stepping up rival campaigns. After the Opposition's mock Parliament and Ramlila Maidan rally demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's removal, the BJP has launched a counter-offensive through rallies and padyatras. Home Minister Amit Shah took the fight to Hyderabad, accusing the Opposition of protecting infiltrators and taking a swipe at Rahul Gandhi's prime ministerial ambitions. BJP president Nitin Nabin has also led marches in Bihar and Bengal, while other party leaders have joined the mobilisation. As both sides push competing narratives, the big question is: whose message will connect with voters?
