Opposition parties have announced plans to gather at the Supreme Court on Monday, citing allegations of electoral fraud as part of a continuing protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. A memorandum outlining concerns about alleged electoral irregularities is to be placed before Chief Justice Surya Kant, with Congress figures Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge having requested an audience for that purpose.

Sources indicated that the Chief Justice conveyed an unwillingness to schedule a meeting with Rahul Gandhi, pointing to related matters already before the Supreme Court as the basis for that position. Lodging a petition through established court procedures, he noted, could bring the matter before a judge as soon as Tuesday — a path he recommended the Congress leader consider taking. Unnamed sources reported that the Chief Justice indicated no administrative orders were available to be issued, while also making clear that people whose fundamental rights have been infringed retain full access to the Supreme Court. A point raised in the proceedings held that administrative channels do not grant the court authority to reach into matters belonging to the executive branch.

A letter from Rahul Gandhi and Kharge reached the Chief Justice's office requesting a meeting window of 4 pm to 5 pm on Monday, at which point they intended to deliver a memorandum. Among the protesters' stated demands are the cessation of what they describe as electoral theft, the removal of Kumar from office, a suspension of the Special Intensive Revision process for voter rolls, and a return to voting by paper ballot.

A gathering the Congress party has titled "Chalo Delhi – March for Democracy" is scheduled to take place on Monday. A gathering of opposition figures at the Connaught Place–Barakhamba Road junction, timed for 1.30 pm, is set to precede a march toward the Supreme Court. In announcing the planned march, Rahul Gandhi indicated that participation would be open to opposition parties, civil society organisations, young people, and citizens who back democracy and the Constitution, with no distinction drawn on the basis of political affiliation, gender, caste, community, or state.

On X, Gandhi posted an account alleging that protesters who had gathered peacefully in Delhi on Saturday were met with force by both police and BJP workers. Referring to the protesters as people exercising a lawful right, Gandhi outlined plans for the next day's Supreme Court march and said it would bring together participants from different parties, genders, castes, communities, and states, grounding the planned action in what he put forward as values of love, brotherhood, and patriotism. Gandhi went on to contend that public voices would remain beyond the reach of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, National Security Adviser Ajit Doval, and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.

Leaders of the INDIA bloc walked together from Parliament to Vijay Chowk on Friday, closing the demonstration by presenting a memorandum to President Droupadi Murmu, with the planned march now having a clearer path forward. At a press briefing held in Bengaluru on Sunday, Congress president Kharge directed criticism at Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister Shah, alleging that their conduct had contributed to disorder across the country.

Objections were put forward over both the way detentions had been handled and the nature of the security measures deployed at Saturday's protests, with the argument made that the government had become apprehensive about a movement drawing its energy from younger participants. A joint letter from Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, addressed to the Chief Justice, sought a Monday appointment in the 4 pm to 5 pm window so that their concerns could be placed before him.

In a statement about Saturday's security arrangements in Delhi, Kharge put the number of personnel deployed at approximately 32,000 from the police force and a further 7,500 from the Central Reserve Police Force. His contention was that the security arrangements put in place pointed to the government's unease about the scale of the protests. Kharge put forward the position that the government had been weakening democratic processes, while pledging that the opposition would press on with its efforts to uphold democracy and the constitutional rights of citizens.

K C Venugopal, general secretary of Congress, raised objections to the conduct of police, stating that journalists from news agencies, Malayalam-language outlets and independent digital platforms — including bloggers and YouTubers, with women among those particularly affected — had been taken into custody and subjected to physical harm. Jairam Ramesh, a general secretary within the Congress party, characterised the reported deployment of force against students, young people, and opposition figures as a threat to the foundations of democratic governance. He put forward allegations that the Modi government had undermined constitutional principles and weakened the foundations on which democratic governance rests.

Disputes over how the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls should be conducted have prompted the opposition to mount a fresh round of protests. Reporting from a broadcast outlet considered reliable pointed to records showing that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi had each filed formal objections on at least 14 occasions over the preceding ten months, with a portion of those objections relating to the SIR exercise — and it was the publication of those records that brought the underlying dispute into sharper relief. Constituent parties of the INDIA bloc settled on a coordinated response to the revision process, centred on street rallies and marches gathered under the "Save Democracy" banner. Procedural concerns over how the vote was conducted prompted calls from opposition parties for the Election Commission to answer for its handling of the process, as the broader contest between the BJP and its rivals over the matter continued to intensify.

Six metro stations had their entry and exit gates kept shut until 4 pm on Monday, a measure the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation put in place ahead of the day's march on grounds of security. The six underground stops affected are Janpath, Mandi House, Barakhamba Road, Central Secretariat, Rajiv Chowk, and Patel Chowk. Interchange facilities at all six stations are set to keep running, according to a DMRC post on X, with the corporation noting that security agencies would assess conditions on the ground and release further updates as the situation warrants.
