The BJP on Sunday (November 1, 2026) claimed the Congress has split into two camps led by Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and that she was not "allowed" to speak at the two INDIA bloc protests as the Leader of Opposition feared getting sidelined by his sister.

In a video message on Instagram, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said Priyanka Gandhi's "vote has also been stolen" within the Gandhi family and claimed she appeared unhappy at the mock parliament and the Ramlila Maidan rally.

The INDIA bloc on Saturday (October 31, 2026) held a symbolic "public impeachment" of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, alleging that the right to vote was under threat as the poll panel was functioning at the behest of the Modi government.

On Sunday (November 1, 2026), the Opposition grouping held a mammoth rally at Ramlila Maidan here against alleged electoral irregularities and voter list revision.

"Yesterday, during the mock Parliament organised by the Congress party and led by Rahul Gandhi, I observed one thing: Priyanka Vadra was not given an opportunity to speak by Rahul Gandhi or the Congress party," Patra said.
