Congress Organizes Million-Person Rally Against Alleged Vote Theft

The Indian National Congress is organizing a massive INDIA bloc rally at Ramlila Maidan in New Delhi on November 1 to protest alleged vote theft, or vote chori. The event serves as the culmination of a Delhi Chalo March, with party organizers expecting at least 1 million citizens to participate.

Congress general secretaries Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and K C Venugopal met with party leaders from Uttar Pradesh and Haryana at the AICC headquarters to review mobilization efforts. The opposition is demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, citing alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.

This planned demonstration follows a March for Democracy held on October 12 and a joint petition filed with the Supreme Court. Rahul Gandhi previously hosted INDIA bloc leaders to strategize the opposition's response to the electoral allegations. K C Venugopal characterized the upcoming programs against the alleged orchestration of vote theft as historic.
