Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has called for a large-scale public march to Delhi's Ramlila Maidan on November 1 to challenge what he describes as systematic irregularities in the electoral process. The demonstration, branded as 'Chalo Dilli', targets the Chief Election Commissioner's office over concerns regarding the integrity of voter registration.
Gandhi has alleged that substantial numbers of eligible voters have been systematically removed from electoral rolls across multiple constituencies. According to the Congress leader, these deletions represent a breach of established electoral guidelines and constitutional provisions governing the voting process.
The planned gathering aims to mobilize public opinion around concerns about electoral management and voter registration practices. Congress representatives have framed the march as a defence of democratic principles and the right to vote.
The announcement comes amid broader political tensions over electoral processes in the country. The Congress party has previously raised concerns about voter rolls in various state and national elections, arguing that such irregularities disproportionately affect certain communities and regions.
The Election Commission has not yet responded to the allegations. The November 1 event is expected to draw significant participation from Congress supporters and opposition activists concerned about electoral transparency.
