<h1>Opposition leader demands chief minister's resignation after alleged 6,850-vote manipulation and FIR tied to CM's home ministry</h1> A state opposition leader demanded the chief minister's resignation after alleging that an opposition national leader exposed manipulation of 6,850 votes in a constituency, noting an FIR was filed by state police under the home ministry headed by the chief minister. The opposition accused the ruling alliance and the Election Commission of facilitating vote theft and alleged partisan conduct by the chief election commissioner. The opposition credited recent GST reforms to its national leader's earlier advocacy, announced celebratory distribution to traders, and pressed the state for farmer relief measures-Rs 50,000 per hectare for crop loss, Rs 5 lakh per hectare for erosion, free rabi seeds and fertilisers, and loan waivers-while opposing imposition of a third school language.
