Rahul Gandhi headed a large march by the INDIA opposition bloc in Delhi, while the BJP staged a counter rally at Ramlila Maidan, labeling the protest a melodrama.
Rahul Gandhi led a sizeable march organized by the INDIA opposition bloc in Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan on Tuesday, drawing thousands of supporters who marched to demand a new political direction. The rally saw participants chanting slogans against the current government and calling for a united front against the ruling party.
In response, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) organized a counter rally at the same venue, with party leaders and supporters gathering to defend the government’s policies. Party spokespersons dismissed the INDIA bloc’s protest as a ‘melodrama’ and urged citizens to remain calm.
The event comes amid growing tensions between the opposition and the ruling party as the national elections approach. Analysts note that the rallies reflect the heightened political polarization in the capital.
Both sides maintained a peaceful conduct, though the atmosphere was tense. Security forces were on high alert to prevent any clashes, and the police managed the crowds without incident.
