Rationale
Multiple independent Indian outlets (The Wire, Deccan Herald, LiveLaw, Telangana Today) confirm that on 30 June 2026 — the broadcast date — 23 opposition parties, explicitly including the Aam Aadmi Party and the DMK, jointly wrote a letter to Chief Justice of India Surya Kant over the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The party count (23), the named parties (AAP and DMK), the addressee (CJI), and the subject (SIR) all match the anchor's statement.
