Bhiwandi: The INDIA bloc is gearing up for a 'Long March' on October 9 in the city to voice opposition against the Election Commission and allegations of electoral fraud. The protest, set to commence from the Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar statue and culminate at the Sub-Divisional Officer's office, was announced during a press conference held by INDIA bloc leaders on Wednesday.
This action is part of a broader campaign against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the opposition's claims of 'vote theft' and irregularities in the electoral roll revision process. Similar protests have spread nationwide, with Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi spearheading demonstrations in Delhi. Maharashtra's opposition parties are also involved, with leaders expressing concern over the growing public discontent over electoral institutions' functioning and alleged discrepancies in the electoral process.
The INDIA bloc leaders' press conference included representatives from various parties, including Congress, NCP (SP), Samajwadi Party, Shiv Sena, Communist, and several others. Concerns were raised about the ongoing agitation by MPSC aspirants in Pune and the impact of examination-related scandals on students and job aspirants. The organizers urged citizens to participate in the march, which will be conducted under the national flag, and requested peaceful, democratic participation.
