Not all opposition parties on same page with Rahul’s march to CJI?

Rahul Gandhi’s call for an opposition march to the Chief Justice of India demanding the Chief Election Commissioner’s resignation has exposed sharp tactical rifts within the bloc. While key factions advocate aggressive street mobilization and judicial petitioning to highlight alleged institutional bias, seasoned legal minds within the opposition caution against the move. Senior jurists and party leaders, notably Abhishek Manu Singhvi, argue that dragging the judiciary into political confrontations risks backfiring. Such demonstrations not only blur institutional boundaries but could inadvertently legitimise the CEC’s authority by subordinating political accountability to judicial arbitrament. Consequently, legal observers suggest that bypassing parliamentary mechanisms for judicial theatrics dilutes the opposition’s credibility, deepening internal fractures over constitutional strategy and reform.
