Traders urge Rahul Gandhi to defer INDIA bloc’s Nov 1 rally, say Rs 10,000 crore Diwali business at risk
Delhi traders say the rally could disrupt Diwali shopping and threaten up to Rs 10,000 crore in festive sales, the CTI said.
- The INDIA bloc will hold a major rally at Ramlila Maidan in New Delhi on November 1, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged electoral irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision of voter rolls.
- Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi organised the 'Save the Vote, Save the Country' campaign to contest the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and alleged 'vote chori,' framing the protest as a constitutional fight to protect democracy.
- Chamber of Trade and Industry chairman Brijesh Goyal warned that rally-related barricades could disrupt festive trade worth Rs 10,000 crore across 20 markets within five kilometres of Ramlila Maidan during peak Diwali shopping season.
- Rahul Gandhi rejected the postponement appeal, stating protests would stop if Prime Minister Narendra Modi removed Kumar; BJP leaders criticised holding the event on the 1984 anti-Sikh violence anniversary, questioning his sensitivity to Sikh sentiments.
- Delhi Police granted permission for the gathering with strict conditions: a 5 pm conclusion time, mandatory high-definition CCTV surveillance at entry points and stage areas, and a ban on overnight stays at the venue.
