The INDIA bloc on Friday (October 30) asserted that it stood united against vote theft and would hold a “public impeachment” of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar on October 31, claiming that the countdown to the ouster of the poll panel chief was accelerating.
He asserted that the Ramlila rally would be a big one despite attempts by the government and Home Minister Amit Shah to stop people from other States from joining in.
The “public impeachment” of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar by the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) has been postponed by a day (to Saturday, October 31) because of rains, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi said on Friday (October 30).
Mr. Gandhi said the Opposition parties would hold the Chalo Dilli march from the Minto Road–Connaught Place junction in central Delhi to Ramlila Maidan on November 1, where the INDIA bloc would hold a rally against alleged vote chori (theft) through the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and press for the CEC’s resignation.
Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi said “this is not multiple protests” but “one protest” and asserted that the entire Opposition stood united in protecting the votes of every Indian and in defending the Constitution.
INDIA bloc march on November 1 would begin at noon from the Minto Road-Connaught Place junction and culminate at the Ramlila Maidan, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Friday (October 30). Several senior Congress leaders, including its Jharkhand unit chief Keshav Mahto Kamlesh, also departed for the national capital to take part in the rally.
Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren and State Congress leaders on Friday (October 30) left for New Delhi to participate in the INDIA bloc “mega rally” on the “vote chori” issue, and to press for the resignation of CEC Gyanesh Kumar over alleged voter list irregularities.
