INDIA Bloc to Hold ‘Chalo Dilli’ Rally at Ramlila Maidan
The INDIA bloc’s November 1 rally is part of its protest against alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The Opposition has also been demanding action against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has appealed to people to join the march in Delhi. The planned route will begin at the Minto Road junction near Connaught Place, pass through Ajmeri Gate and conclude at Ramlila Maidan. The march is scheduled to begin at noon.
Electoral Roll Revision at the Centre of Political Tussle
The two programmes reflect the growing political confrontation between the BJP and Opposition parties over the electoral roll revision process. While the INDIA bloc is seeking to draw public attention to its allegations against the SIR exercise and the Election Commission, the BJP is organising its own mobilisation under the theme of protecting democracy and opposing anarchy.
With both sides holding major programmes on the same day, November 1 is set to see competing political messages across Rohtak and Delhi.
