Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Vote Bachao’ Rally Sparks Concerns in Delhi | CTI | Gyanesh Kumar | Supreme Court
The national capital is preparing for significant political tension as the Congress party organizes a high-profile 'Vote Bachao' rally at Ramlila Maidan. The protest targets Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over the contentious Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and broader concerns regarding electoral transparency. Ahead of the event, a prominent traders' association has formally requested Rahul Gandhi to defer the demonstration. Organizers anticipate a massive turnout of nearly ten lakh participants and twenty thousand buses, prompting severe apprehensions about crippling traffic congestion and public disruption across Delhi. This mobilization has further heightened the ongoing political face-off between the Congress and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, bringing the functioning of the apex poll panel directly into the national political spotlight.
Delhi is bracing for a major political showdown as Congress prepares for a rally at Ramlila Maidan against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. A traders’ body has reportedly urged Rahul Gandhi to postpone the rally, citing concerns over traffic congestion and the potential arrival of 10 lakh people and 20,000 buses in the national capital. The proposed rally is linked to the Congress-led campaign against the Election Commission and its Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The issue has intensified the political confrontation between the Congress and the BJP, with questions surrounding electoral transparency and the functioning of the Election Commission taking centre stage.
