A court in Delhi sets aside an earlier magistrate order in a case involving Congress leader Sonia Gandhi’s name appearing in voter rolls, after which a BJP leader makes remarks calling it a “theft of democracy.” The BJP’s comments follow the Special Court for MP/MLA cases at Rouse Avenue overturning a decision that had declined to direct the registration of a First Information Report (FIR) against Gandhi.
The outlets frame the development as part of ongoing legal proceedings over the voter-roll entry. NDTV reports that the BJP leader’s reaction is tied specifically to the court setting aside the magistrate’s refusal to order an FIR, rather than to a final finding on the underlying allegations. The emphasis is therefore on the change in procedural status following the court’s ruling, and on political response by the BJP, with the court action remaining the central point of reference across coverage.
