Dipke alleged that 13 crore voters have been deleted from rolls since 2024 to favor the ruling government, and he warned of further protests if demands are not met.

The group is also calling for criminal charges against Kumar and a return to paper ballots, citing security concerns regarding Electronic Voting Machines.
