New Delhi, India, October 24 (ANI) — All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary KC Venugopal announced that the INDIA bloc will launch a nationwide mobilization campaign, beginning with a public impeachment proceeding against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar on October 30.
Outlining the alliance’s protest schedule on X, Venugopal said the public’s verdict on removing the CEC would be delivered loud and clear.
“In our effort to save the Constitution and defeat the Vote Chors, INDIA bloc will be holding a crucial Public Impeachment proceeding on 30th October — where the public’s verdict to remove the Vote Chor CEC Gyanesh Kumar will be delivered loud and clear,” Venugopal wrote.
Elaborating on the next phase of the agitation, which aims to bring one million citizens to the national capital under the leadership of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Venugopal announced that a Dilli Chalo march against alleged vote theft would culminate at Ramlila Maidan on November 1.
“After this Public Impeachment, we will hold a Dilli Chalo March against Vote Chori culminating at Ramleela Maidan on November 1st, where at least a million concerned citizens will participate. Hon’ble INC President Sh. Mallikarjun @kharge ji has reached out to all INDIA Bloc parties, requesting that their leaders and members present in Delhi during this period in full force,” Venugopal stated.
Earlier Saturday, Venugopal reviewed preparations for the upcoming INDIA bloc rally at Indira Bhavan. The rally is scheduled to take place at Ramlila Maidan on November 1.
In a post on X, Venugopal said meetings had been held with the chairpersons and in-charges of various party wings and departments to discuss mobilization efforts.
“We continued our meetings to take stock of preparations for the INDIA Bloc’s Mega Rally against Vote Chori on November 1st, as we met with Chairpersons and In-charges of various frontals and departments at Indira Bhavan today,” Venugopal said.
Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Venugopal also met party leaders from Uttar Pradesh and Haryana at the AICC headquarters in New Delhi to review preparations for the upcoming INDIA bloc rally against alleged vote theft.
AICC in-charge Rajendra Pal Gautam and Uttar Pradesh Congress president Aradhana Misra-Mona attended the meeting.
In a post on X, Venugopal said the party expected one million people to gather at Ramlila Maidan.
He said the rally was intended to send a strong message of unity amid the agitation against CEC Gyanesh Kumar.
“Our programs against the criminal Vote Chori orchestrated by Gyanesh & Co. — at Modi-Shah’s behest — will be historic. People from all across the country will be attending in massive numbers, and it will send a strong message to every corner of India that we are united in protecting our democracy and driving these Vote Chors out of power,” the post read.
On October 5, Venugopal announced the November 1 rally against CEC Gyanesh Kumar amid the ongoing agitation against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
The INDIA bloc is also scheduled to hold a Dilli Chalo march on November 25 and 26, featuring six marches from different states toward the national capital. (ANI)
