Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Sunday appealed to students, farmers, laborers, women, youth, and traders, to join ‘Chalo Dilli’ march in Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan on November 1 amid the ongoing protests and demonstrations against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise.
“Our votes are being stolen, and we will not tolerate this quietly under any circumstances. Names have been removed from the voter lists. Rules and laws have been broken. And lathis have been used on those asking questions.
On November 1, the opposition will take its campaign to the streets with a ‘Dilli chalo march’ to Ramlila Maidan, Congress general secretary KC Venugopal announced had announced earlier.
Now the country will respond,” Rahul Gandhi said on X. The bloc has billed the march as its “biggest” mobilisation against a alleged “vote chori”.
Delhi Police gives nod to Congress rally on Nov 1
Just keep up this same zeal and dedication for the next 7 days! Last week, the Delhi Police had granted permission to Congress for holding a demonstration at the Ramlila Maidan in central Delhi on November 1, and issued a no-objection certificate in this regard. In addition, the venue has been reserved by the party from October 25 to November 3, police said.
Taking a dig at the ruling BJP government for helping opposition reach a wider audience, Rahul said, “Heartfelt thanks to BJP and its allies, who are promoting this program with such great enthusiasm and reaching it to more and more people. The opposition INDIA bloc is set to stage a “public impeachment” of CEC Gyanesh Kumar on October 30, followed by the announcement of a public verdict against him. The event, described as a “mock Parliament”, will take place at Hotel Ashok and is expected to bring together opposition MPs and senior leaders from across the bloc.
Inviting people for the November 1 programme, he said, “November 1 – Chalo Dilli. Save the Vote – Save the Country Jan March and Mega Rally. Students, farmers, laborers, women, youth, and traders – anyone who cares about democracy must come. The vote is yours. The fight is also yours.”
