Rahul Gandhi sets November 1 Chalo Dilli march
Hindustan Times·
Rahul Gandhi on Sunday called people to a Chalo Dilli march at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan on November 1. He linked the rally to protests against CEC Gyanesh Kumar and the Election Commission's SIR exercise. Delhi Police last week permitted the Congress demonstration for that date. The INDIA bloc also plans a public impeachment event against the CEC on October 30.
