New Delhi, October 14: An estimated 30,000 young people reportedly took part in a rally in Assam to express their support for Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar amid the ongoing political confrontation over the Election Commission of India's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
According to social media reports, thousands of youths took to the streets carrying flags in support of Kumar. Supporters described the gathering as a demonstration by nationalist groups in response to opposition-led protests against the electoral roll revision process.
The rally in Assam comes amid protests by opposition parties and student organisations against the SIR exercise. The revision has triggered a political dispute, with opposition groups alleging irregularities in electoral rolls and claiming that eligible voters have been excluded.
he demonstration in support of Kumar stands in contrast to opposition-led protests in New Delhi and parts of Guwahati, where groups have demanded his resignation over the alleged discrepancies.

Opposition parties, including the Congress and the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), along with student organisations such as the Students' Federation of India (SFI) and the All India Students' Federation (AISF), have participated in demonstrations against the revision process.
The protesters have accused the Election Commission of irregularities in the preparation of electoral rolls and raised concerns over the alleged disenfranchisement of voters.
The Election Commission of India has rejected allegations of a split in decision-making within the institution over the SIR exercise.
The Commission has clarified that decisions related to the Special Intensive Revision were collectively approved by all three Election Commissioners, dismissing claims of unilateral decision-making.
