The Opposition, spearheaded by the Congress, is demanding a rigorous discussion in Parliament regarding alleged anomalies in the integrity of the electoral process. Concerns about discrepancies in voter lists were raised by Rahul Gandhi and other representatives, spotlighting questions on voter identification numbers and reflecting widespread apprehensions.

Speaking during Zero Hour, Rahul Gandhi asserted that the opposition's collective voice echoes across India, calling for Parliament's immediate attention. Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge's attempts to raise the issue in the Rajya Sabha were stymied, prompting an opposition walkout in protest of the government's inaction.

Trinamool Congress members sharply criticized the Election Commission, questioning the transparency of recent elections and demanding corrective measures. Allegations of duplicated voter identity cards and inflated voter lists were raised, with calls for a thorough revision across several states, including West Bengal and Assam.
