Rahul Gandhi Urges Citizens to Join ‘Chalo Delhi’ March on Nov. 1

Rahul Gandhi, the Lok Sabha leader of the opposition, reiterated on Thursday that the November 1 “Chalo Delhi” march to Ramlila Maidan is a protest against alleged vote‑theft and voter irregularities. In a post on X, he called the march “the soul of India” and urged student groups of all political leanings to join.

Gandhi said the march is not a party‑specific event but a national movement to protect democracy and the Constitution. He warned that the BJP would not dare to use its usual police tactics and urged people not to fear police action or “lathis.”

The Congress leader also highlighted that the opposition will hold a mock parliament at Mallikarjun Kharge’s residence to “publicly impeach” Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Earlier, INDIA bloc representatives had alleged that recent revisions to voter rolls disproportionately affected poor workers, tenants and residents of unauthorized settlements, and called for the restoration of eligible voters’ names.

The march is scheduled for November 1 at Ramlila Maidan, Delhi. The opposition plans a large rally under the INDIA bloc banner and a public impeachment session.
