<h1>Opposition leader alleges vote-stealing by Election Commission, joins voter-rights march amid defamation and electoral misconduct risks</h1> A regional opposition leader declared the ruling national coalition likely to lose an upcoming state assembly election, said he will join an allied voter-rights march, and accused the Election Commission of bias and vote-stealing. He criticized the ruling party for insulting opponents and referenced profane language controversies directed at the prime minister and a state chief executive, while also invoking a foreign head of state in political criticism. Legally, these statements raise issues around electoral misconduct allegations, potential complaints to election authorities, and reputational/defamation risks arising from accusatory and potentially defamatory public comments.
